I sometimes cannot wrap my head around how prevelant these biases are in society and yet people still have the audacity to claim that we have achieved equality.
What would you consider equality? Equal representation? Equal distribution?
You're presuming that equal opportunity must entail equal distribution/representation when it does not. When people say that we have achieved equality, they mean that the opportunity is equal. But equal opportunity does not entail that the representation must be equal. Now of course you could say that the opportunity isn't equal, but a skewed distribution is not enough to prove it(and definitely not anecdotal cases).
