My Pick Proves I Am Not Racist, etc.

I will pick a (color) (gender) person.

It is quite interesting how one can claim it is wrong, racist, etc. to not pick a person based on their color, gender — yet feel empowered, woke, intelligent, fair, etc. by picking a person based on their color, gender.

What happened to choosing a person to fill a position based on character and qualifications? Is that so wrong these days? Is it biased to desire the best person for the job to be considered and blessed with the opportunity, regardless of color, gender? Perhaps that would make all of us strive to be better.
