1.) Wong makes many points that add to this larger conversation about diversity and inclusion. One of the points that really stood out to me, is somewhat counterintuitive when thinking about it. The following quote sums up what is trying to be said. “Notions of equality are gen-erally associated with assumptions of sameness; when everyone is treated the same and gets the same things, this is assumed to ensure that everyone is treated fairly. However, treating everyone the same is a surefire way to exacerbate and reproduce inequal-ities, precisely because it actively obscures and denies relevant differences, including how different groups have historically been treated, which must be acknowledged to be fairly addressed at present.” The point of all of this is treating everyone the same in the workplace or in society actually would not work. It actually would back fire and lead to even more inequality.
