Why is it racist or sexist to not to be interested in "inclusion" (which actually means "quotas", right?)

I would think that progressive activism is the minority rather than the default view.

Isn't it the racially discriminatory stance to make decisions based on race?

I think most rational people would rather make decisions purely on competence and facts, not identity.

And yet you'll find numerous comments in this thread using disproportionate population statistics to erroneously declare bias and bigotry.

Sure sounds like quotas are what is desired.
