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 7 out of 10 top CEOs are white cis males. But somehow gender and racism have nothing to do with it. Hmm, interesting logic.

Yes I think that’s perfectly sound logic.
If 10/10 of the top CEO’s were white cis males if say “that’s interesting, let’s look at a larger sample size”. As it stands, it seems there is a statistically significant population of non-white and non-male CEO’s. This dataset doesn’t include sexual orientation, and even if I cared to look that information up for each individual it’s hard to ascertain the accuracy. I would expect most, if not all, CEO’s to be cis because… that’s the same trend as all of humanity. Approximately 1% of the US population is transgender, and a good portion of those are young people. CEO’s tend to be older as the job (in theory) requires experience, so I wouldn’t expect to see significant trans representation there for a few more decades.
What are you hoping to accomplish by calling out gender and racism though? Because the only thing you’re actually accomplishing is further dividing the working class against each other and playing right into the hands of these people.

As I see it, while not all CEOs are white cisgender. For some strange reason, which I’m completely sure it’s totally a coincidence, all the ones spouting this antiwork bile, are always white cis male. I wonder why that might be…
