      It’s devaluing, because Boebert named diversity as a reason to hire Karine, not her professional qualities.

        you’re almost there… just explain what kind of diversity and you should arrive.

        You forgot the implication that black women couldn’t possibly be skilled or smart enough to be hired. Because they’re black. That’s the racist part. It’s devaluation stemming from racism.

          It appears that Boebert has said that about particular women, not all of them.

          So I wouldn’t necessarily imply racism here. Common devaluation - sure.

            Bad chatbot. You can’t switch between sexism and racism without even attempting to connect the two.

              Ok.

              It appears that Boebert has said that about a particular women person of colour, not all of them.

              Is that better?

              P.S. My first language is Russian, and we usually refer to a person by it’s gender. That’s why I defaulted with “woman” instead of more broad “person”.
