I agree with you in some points, but overall I do believe that a lot of progress is being made with respect to qualified POC and women rising ranks - it just takes time to reflect.
It's easy to dissect on one company and criticize them for their lack of diversity, but amazon is only a little over 20 years old despite its immense success and most of its S-Team has stuck around since its inception.
I'm reminded of a quote from 30 Rock about corporate structure, "When a big one falls, four little ones rise up". Its just the case that the 'big ones' have rarely fallen in the S-team. For positions like these, in the apex of the business world, only time will tell.
