Cronyism and nepotism happens everywhere but now it gets to fly under the banner of diversity, equality (Or equity depending on the nugget you listen to) and inclusion.
It's just jobs for the boys all over. It's just the boys are anything but the stereotype of what they used to be.
I can guarantee you when this finally gets noted and repair attempts will be made it will be a lot harder to shift these 'people' from their positions of power than it was to give them a chance in the first place.
It's a recursive spiral and it only goes down.
It will change eventually, but within any of our lifetimes?
nepotism leads to decay because incompetent people inevitably get elevated. A manager should always hire the best people for the job, and part of that means filtering out anyone who would sabotage the company for their personal interests.
I disagree. While fighting nepotism with your own nepotism can serve your own self-interest in the short term, long-term it is a losing strategy for any decently large organization.
Nepotism isn't really good or bad in itself. The tradeoff being made is always about competence vs. commitment to a core vision. Someone who is hired for nepotistic reasons may have more real, organic reason to support a certain vision than someone who isn't in your in-group, but is 5% more effective.

If you're a White guy the only solution is to take the exact same tactic. F anyone who says otherwise

Lack of nepotism inevitably leads to destruction by groups who do practice nepotism.

it is better to stamp out nepotism at its core.
All things lead to decay, because entropy.
