I am really tired of hearing the "someone who looks like you" argument for everything. I couldn't care less what the person saving me from a disaster looks like, as long as that person *can* save me.
Also, if there actually are people out there who only want to accept help from "someone who looks like them," it's because the "inclusivity" people convinced them that anyone who doesn't look like them is a danger to them.
Completely agree, but with a caveat; role models matter, and this is why we sent our son to a boys summer camp and not a co-ed camp. I do believe it's important for children to see role models, especially if there are few "like them" in some professions. I once posted on FB a pic of the first black female F-18 pilot and there was a meltdown as if I was Al Sharpton and Richard Spencer combined. But the assistant fire chief was displaying idiocy, and she is definitely the opposite of a role model.
