Sexism is not solved with more female CEOs.

Racism is not solved with billionaire POCs.

Queerphobia is not solved with more LGBTQ+ media representation.

The primary oppression is of the working class, and being a member of any of these marginalised groups simply fast tracks you to working class.

That's not to say there aren't systemic prejudices. Of course there are. But these primarily serve to keep the group of elites small and ever more exclusive.
