What does them bring white or cisgender have anything to do with it? An idiot is an idiot regardless of the race or gender of the person.
Unnecessary labels for the subject at hand, imo.

Have you noticed that most (almost all) CEOs are white male cis gendered? I’m sure it’s a coincidence though, they definitely deserve their wealth beyond imagination and I’m 100% sure they didn’t do anything unethical to amass their incalculable power and affluent life style.

Other countries exist and have CEOs

What does that have to do with the makeup of CEOs in the US? If you look at the demographics of CEOs here vs the demographics of the population here, the CEO demographics aren’t even close to that of the population. They usually aren’t even close to the demographics of the companies they head. Doesn’t that seem kinda odd?

Just a quick search for the CEO’s of the biggest companies provides a nice list. ceoworld.biz/…/the-worlds-most-influential-ceos-a…
In the top 10, 7 are cis white men, along with these 3:
Bringing up sexual orientation, gender Identity, and racial identity is what these billionaires want. Plenty of “girl bosses” have shown they are perfectly capable of exploiting labor. Peter Thiel is a perfect example of how you don’t have to be straight to oppress people. The CEO of Microsoft isn’t white.
UAW just announced a strike against 3 manufacturers today, including GM whose CEO is Mary Teresa Barra.
Then of course there’s tons of CEO’s and billionaires from Asia, Mexico, and the Middle-East. Calling out Cis White Men does nothing but cause further divisions between members of the working class. There’s plenty of CIS straight white men out there laboring and being repressed by a variety of different demographics.

So if he were a non-white trans CEO, does that suddenly make it ok to do stuff like this?
Being a shitty CEO - nay, a shitty human being - is not mutually exclusive to white people.
dustyData@lemmy.world 9 months ago
No it doesn’t, where in my comment did I imply that?
Poggervania@kbin.social 9 months ago
Believe it or not, it can be implied with your original comment. As soon as you put labels on something, you’re saying “of course it’s a white male cisgender CEO” - but if it were, for example, a black trans person, would you suddenly go “of course it’s a black trans CEO”? By labelling something, you’re suddenly saying that everything that you didn’t explicitly label is somehow different - somehow, a non-white, non-male, non-cis CEO is different than a white male cis CEO.
As another user said, it’s an unnecessary label for the context at hand that serves, at best, to make people like me go “ok, unnecessary for the labels but go for it”, and at worst it divides people because people are stupid and will get hung up on culture and identity in contexts where neither are needed.

Oh my God, give it a rest. If you think white men are the devil just say so.
