African American men account for roughly 6% of the American Population, yet 75% of the players in the NBA are black men.
That doesn't sound like equity but sounds like what Kristen Clark refers to as disproportionate representation.
What if to remedy that lack of equity, the NBA announced that going forward, half of their players, at least 50% have to be White, Asian, Hispanic, or female to better represent the fans in the stands? how would would people respond to that?
We would understand immediately and we would say that that's a racist policy
No one even alleged that NBA players are doing a bad job
we all assumed correctly as we do with airlines companies that they were hired in the first place because they were the best they could find
