Okay, but what is the different library...?

This is fascinating and sad.

Think of it this way:

As a male and not POC, you're starting at the starting line with no inherent disadvantages.

If you're a woman, you're farther behind on the starting line.

If you're a POC, you're farther behind on the starting line.

Privilege isn't supposed to make you feel -bad-. You didn't choose to be born male and white. It just happened to you. Your accomplishments are still your own, your life is still your own.

But it's ignorance (willful or otherwise) to deny the inherent advantages of being male and white, as compared to women, or POC, or people who are LGBTQ.

Put differently: if feeling bad about being privileged is the worst part of your experience where it comes to things like diversity, then you are a very privileged person.

Exactly this. DEI isn't about ignoring race--DEI is -recoginizing- the impact that things like gender, race, and sexuality has on our biases.

It's amazing how blind people can be to experiences that don't match their own. And when you _tell_ them what has happened to you, point at the preponderance of evidence out there about it, they still don't believe you.
