I feel like EA organizations have become a gentrified refined versions of what they wanted to be. I look around and see close to no diversity, everyone is from a top 10 university, padded backgrounds and middle-upper western class. Where are the poor people? Do the poors not care about EA?
Is there a lack of talent? No.
It’s simply the bias of hiring the most padded resume, with the gazillion volunteer roles and internships, that the average Joe can’t afford because Joe is a poor.
I think you call out a really good problem, I did not downvote, but I may have an idea of why it was downvoted. The problem somewhat do exist, also with race and gender, but the issue might not be resume or hiring strategy (target schools) alone
