These areas have a very noticeable lack of diversity. Normally I wouldn't care because it takes a lot dedication to be an athlete or an actor/actress. It takes hard work, endless training, repetition, constantly working towards personal betterment, and a constant desire to learn and better one's self. I used to think that if someone managed to get into that select group, it was because they earned it.

But Jada Pinkett Smith raises a GREAT point. “We can no longer beg for the love, acknowledgement, or respect of any group.” That's a great point, right? If an area of life doesn't have a lot of races in it, it must be because someone is holding them back and we should work to change that. Surely if there's a lot of competition in an arena and there is too much of any one color skin on the stage, it means that someone needs to be knocked down, regardless of their skill, to make room for a different skin color. We should stop judging people on merit and talent, and start judging them by skin color. We need to force people to start including more diversity into their groups, workplaces - hell, even their homes. This will only help us as a species and in no way reinforce feelings of resentment or ill will in regards to people being forced to do something against their will. /s
