Because that makes racists feel better? If Newsom looked at his list of qualified candidates and saw that his top 3 candidate finalists were all Black women, he can pre-announce that the finalist will be a Black woman.
Similarly, the US is very comfortable with less than 1% of all VC funding going to Black women. We all just pretend that racist exclusion isn't happening. But the minute 1 tiny fund says that it's going to give < .01% to Black women? Lawsuits! Claims of unfairness!🤡
