Thank you. That's a great question.
That's the tension—which I'm sure you're familiar with—between equality of outcomes and equality of opportunities.
Any time we find that there is a lack of equality of opportunities, we should intervene and try to solve this. A hundred years ago, we didn't have women in medical schools. Today we have more women than men. A hundred years ago, most universities were populated by men. Now, at the bachelor, master and doctoral levels in the United States, women outnumber men across five racial categories.
Wherever we see that there are truly systemic barriers to entry for any group, then we need to eradicate those, but that doesn't come from saying only queer people who are non-binary get to be a professor of artificial intelligence at the University of Waterloo. Imagine how insane that makes us look globally. Artificial intelligence is one of the hottest areas. Is one of the elite universities in Canada going to choose its chaired professors based on whether they are Latinx or queer?
