Read the whole paragraph again.

I don't think you understood.

""And about this: "We should have way more diversity in leadership of every sector, but white guys like me know that would lead to a larger pool of people competing for their jobs, so they instead choose to believe that only people like them are qualified to hold those jobs." So you too are a greedy self-interested bro too. You and the other bro's don't believe the lie "only people like them are qualified to hold those jobs" if that was the case you would not oppose diversity because you know the non-whites and non-males would quickly wash out due to poor performance and your superiority would be demonstrated. You know better than to believe the lie.""

I don't believe that Non-Whites and Non-Males would wash out. My point was that if White Supremacists really believed that they were superior then they would open the doors to diversity in leadership because they would be sure that it would prove their points. White Supremacists know that they have to keep Non-Whites and Non-Males out of leadership positions because those Non-Whites and Non-Males will succeed at the same rates as White Males and disprove their superiority.

I know that BIPOC and Female workers and leaders do perform that the same level as White Males. I have live that experience. I worked for one of the biggest aerospace contractors at a NASA facility and have worked with Black, women and Black women leaders who were excellent.

White Supremacy is a cover for greater White Privilege. It is about an artificially created superiority not a natural superiority.
