But then you should also expose people to education and career choices in a personality type neutral manner. School was a pretty tough ride for me because I am shy and introvert although I am a white male. Gender and race are not the only dimensions along which people can get discriminated. There are also looks, being outgoing or not, athletic skills, fashion tastes and many others.

Our taxonomies for personality traits and human grouping is quite primitive. Our ability to categorise people in useful ways is really atrocious. So often we force that category on people, because that's easier then improving our categorization.
Hopefully, this improves in the future, starting with medicine amd nutrition, there's more discourse happening about the individual characteristics. But I'm afraid its a hard problem, accurate genes and gut microbiome measurements could maybe improve things. But then correlating these with behaviourial traits and emotional well being is incredibly hard.
