Hi Ana de Montvert, (I love that name btw), Thanks for sharing this thoughtful comment. It's disheartening to witness cases where incompetence is rewarded and perpetuated. While awareness is a crucial first step, addressing these systemic issues requires collective action. We must always point these things out rather than remaining silent.
Advocating for transparent and merit-based systems, holding institutions accountable, and fostering a culture of equality can be pivotal in dismantling such power protectionism. Not to mention that as an economist, it wasting of resources to select white incompetence over brown competence. It's indeed a challenging journey, but with continued awareness and concerted efforts, there's hope for positive change. Thanks, again!
