I mean, what's more equal: a community of 50% males, 50% females with 25% White, 25% Black, 25% Hispanic, and 25% Asian but all the groups exist in segregated bubles or mistreat each other or show disingenuous favoritism to maintain some facade of this "ideal" diversity OR a community with severe imbalances but everyone treats each other as their equal peer? Who cares if there's a 75% male 25% female ratio or more if all treat each other equally and fairly? And if there really IS issues in treatment, balancing population ratios won't do jack to address that. |
Treating everyone like decent human beings no matter who they are will do much more good for society than artificially balancing the ratios of a community. There are very real barriers certain groups face and that's the reason why those ratios are so one-sided. We should do are best to fix the issues facing certain groups and when that happens true equality happens.
