— It’s not just the Oscars — Congress needs a representation reboot – SANGITA SIGDYAL (DIERSEN: Why stop at gender and race? What about IQ, ACT score, political affiliation, age, marital status, veteran status, national origin, religion, length of time your ancestors have been in America, income, net worth, education, professional certifications, professional licenses, height, BMI, attractiveness/handsomeness, hair color, eye color, etc.?)
https://thehill.com/opinion/civil-rights/430486-its-not-just-the-oscars-congress-needs-a-representation-reboot
(FROM THE ARTICLE: That’s not so different than our Congress, which despite the much-celebrated diversity of the newest class, remains a far cry from the gender and racial makeup of its electorate. Women represent nearly a quarter of the 116th Congress, while racial minority representation stands at about 22 percent. How does this fare with the national demographics, you might ask? The latest estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau: 13 percent African-American, 18 percent Hispanic or Latino, and half female. So why isn’t #CongressSoWhite (and male) trending on Twitter?)
