Most things that matter in politics, finance, tech, science, academia happens in private back rooms where people only invite people they want to hear from. By the time it makes it to public view, the power-play part is already over and a chore.

If you’re not invited to those conversations you’re not in. If you muscle your way in through blackmail or threats or bribes, the conversation retreats from that room and you get theater put on for your benefit.

Brings us back to how common the rich, white, native = out, vs. non-rich, brown, foreign = in, is. Barring outliers like Trump, former is in 8/10. Leaving room for say, two tokens. Is your point about resentment, the mere existence of those two spots?

You’re I think implicitly analyzing this from the black perspective. Which is a big special case. But I think I’m very common otherwise. A big fraction of educated asians in general have integrated pretty deeply into white inner circles at all levels.
