When Harris had to pick a VP, all media kinda agreed it should be a white male, to balance the fact that she is black and a woman. So Walz is the DEI hire. (lemmy.world)

If you ask me, I'm upset no one picked up that this consideration was sexist and racist, although it is indeed the best choice for her to win, which reflects how bad US can't get over race and gender.

It's not preventing solving the root cause. It's helping put people in power who can attempt to solve it by for example investing in free education. Unless you put enough such people through education into the halls of power, you can't hope that someone from the winner class of the system would do things to hurt their children from having such advantage to win. And then you have people who constantly and actively oppose any such actions. So things are improving but there still aren't enough people in the halls of power to do the work needed to root out these problems.
