Is your view of meritocracy actually a reflection of unearned privilege?
In short: Lawyer Mariam Veiszadeh examines why some see the status quo as a meritocracy while others see systemic bias. This talk uses statistics and personal stories to challenge modern corporate approaches to diversity.
The video explores the gap between the 'quasi-equality' often promoted in business and the reality of systemic inequality. Veiszadeh argues for a shift in workplace diversity and inclusion efforts, moving away from simply replicating existing biases and toward actively rooting them out.
