Almost 80% of congress is white, and over 75% is male. We have had one nonwhite President and zero female presidents.
This oppressed group sure is massively overrepresented in the government that is apparently out to oppress them, not to mention in the nation's boardrooms, mansions, and every other space occupied by our societal elite. It's still fairly notable when anyone who ISN'T a white male gets elected to high office, made a CEO of a major company, etc.
So you can see what's at stake here.
