Rose Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 (edited) I noticed in my company, out of the male SVPs and CO, 90+ % are white male, including the CEO. Out of the COs all males are white. With women, it’s a different story, there are less women in such high roles, but all of them are non white. Are the company’s filling out/compensating their diversity quota with females? I notice in media too, if there ever is a non white leading character, they are going to be women. For example, little mermaid, the mermaid is black, BUT the prince and her dad are white. In fact, I struggle to find any movie I’ve seen with a leading non white male character, especially Asian males. Even in Harry Potter, there is not a single Asian male character, while there were 3 significant Asian female characters. Out of all rom coms I’ve seen, if there is a non white character it’s always a woman and she will be in love with a white male. Is this world still very much a white male dominated world? Is media still completely biased and trying to uphold the white male power/supremacy? Edited March 18 by Rose Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serenity Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Disney got a few non white lead male heros. I can think like this of Aladdin, Mowgli and the Emperor from Kuzko. 🤔 Prince Naveen in the Frog Princess is mixed race.

WhiteOwl Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 1 hour ago, Rose said: I think he means that McDonald’s main goal is making money Yes right, I also thought so, but in regards to what you wrote though. That the main goal for whom you are writing about is not equality.. kind of makes sense 🙂 Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
