You don’t hear much
about Asian Privilege, but the leaders of all Asian countries are Asians. The
leaders of all African countries are Black. The leaders of all Muslim countries
are Muslim. The Leaders of Hispanic
countries are Hispanic. But most of the leaders of European and North American
countries are White. So, what’s wrong with the leaders of European and North
American countries being White?
White Supremacy
doesn’t exist in Asia or Africa. White supremacy only exists in Europe and
North America.
Then there is the
issue about Women not occupying 50% of the leadership roles in all of these
countries. We have had great women leaders in several countries. Golda Mayer
led Israel the 1967 and won the Six Days War. Margaret Thatcher led the UK and
saved its economy by privatizing its government-run industries. Queen Victoria
led Great Britain 1819 to 1901 and won the Industrial Revolution. Queen
Elizabeth I led England from 1558 to 1603 and created the British Empire.
Cleopatra led Egypt from 51 BC to 30 BC. The Queen of Sheba led Ethiopia in the
11th Century BC. Their numbers were few, but their competency was
impressive.
All abilities are
subject to the “normal curve”. The most obvious model is professional sports
where we see the top end of the athletic ability. In business and politics we
need competency and an accurate worldview for leaders who achieve good
long-term results.
