The USA is becoming more "diverse" in every aspect of society. If it doesn't call out "white privilege" then there's little interest for government, higher educational institutions, companies, etcetera to invest in something.

In fact, a lot of these influential entities smear digital currency, the blockchain, and the like as aiding 'white privilege' and 'white supremacy'. So they don't want to even give it a chance unless a "minority" from the United States, specifically one who is liberally minded, is at the helm. They ignore the words of the rest of us. Especially if we're just ordinary people. It's sad. It's frustrating.

Those driving the charge of the prevailing social environment in the USA, when it comes to tech and developments such as these, are about identity politics above all else.
