How do you apply this to a system that has favoured certain groups for so long that the whole structure has close to none of those it supposedly wants to help?
You need representation from groups that need help in order to help. You need representative individuals in the organisation to guide it. You may have to positively discriminate at first, or else you won’t have any representative to draw from.
There are abundant examples of butchered attempts at ‘helping’ when those with good intent have no idea (this thread gives plenty of cringe inducing examples).
The key, I think, it making it clear what the role is and what is wanted to those that are there in that role.
