Imagine how better would it be if they replaced one of those rich white dudes with another rich person who wasn´t a white man... right?

I would prefer to burn Meta/Facebook to the ground too, but that doesn't mean people shouldn't point out Zuckerberg & Co.'s obvious sexism and racism.

It's not sexism or racism, it's just that the computer models for building a lifelike automaton to replace powerful people is exponentially harder with each gender and skin tone you add to the master mold.

I think his point was that obvious sarcasm is not that obvious.

Not explicitly, but diversity is an indicator for a broader life experience, which combined indicates greater knowledge.
Picking outliers to make your point betrays the point of this article. No one is claiming that with a diverse committee the results will be guaranteed perfect. That doesn't mean that we shouldn't be allowed to raise an eyebrow at such a potentially incredibly powerful and impactful organ having, statistically, such a narrow field of experience yet making decisions that affect the entire world.

When talking about representation, class representation is just as important, if not more important than race and gender. A rich woman’s life experience is much more similar to that of a rich man than that of a poor woman. So you’re right that this hypocrisy deserves to be called out, but we shouldn’t stop when race & gender diversity is reached.

India has so many billionaires, it's a shame that they don't use that resource.

Perhaps they chose on merit, and the most qualified candidates just all happened to be white men? Have we considered that??
/s, just in case

Duh
