Article here. Jump the paywall by Googling the first paragraph text. Excerpt:

'More than a hundred Democratic party lawmakers have written to Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen complaining of a lack of diversity within the central bank system and a leadership that is “overwhelmingly and disproportionately white and male”.

The letter, signed by 11 senators and 116 representatives, calls on the Fed to do more to ensure its senior ranks reflect the country’s make-up in terms of gender, race and ethnicity, economic background and occupation. It also demands that the Fed place greater priority on securing full employment for minorities as it pursues its economic goals.'

... to neurosurgery, we'd decide neurosurgeons as a whole are too white and male and therefore some should be forced into general surgery while some general surgeons (non-white, non-male ones, of course) should start treating brain cancer cases.

All in the name of "social justice", let's just fuck up everything by assigning people tasks not based on what they want to do and have the talent for but instead, on what their skin color and sex is. And if people need to die or economies need to collapse, well, so be it! It all evens out in the end. That's the idea behind "social justice".

Yep, the world'll be a better place for it. Yep.
