Just as there is no royal road to geometry, there is no woke road, either. You have to put in the work, and if you are smart enough, you will understand geometry (or whatever it is you are studying), but if you don’t put in the work, you won’t have any knowledge of geometry. Unfortunately, our elites think differently. They think math is racist and so adding a bunch of diversity officers will help things. But it didn’t. See here. Adding diversity officers didn’t do anything and in fact made the gap between the results of black and white students even worse. Why? It’s because a diversity officer will of course tell blacks that they are up against racism, which they need to fight, rather than telling them they have to study hard, which is probably something they don't want to hear.
See here (and scroll down) for a sad example of this. The woman is, or rather was, a pre-med at Harvard, but says she was too upset about racial injustice to do well on a chemistry test. She wrote a letter to the Harvard Crimson in which she goes on and on about how white supremacy was to blame, though in a scatterbrained way (“my body inhaled molecules of white supremacy”), none of which explains why in a society dominated by white supremacists, Asians manage to do so well. Everyone with sense who read her ridiculous statement just assumed that she didn’t do well because she didn’t study or else wasn’t smart enough to be a doctor.
It’s not white supremacy that is holding her back.
