We have a complaint on behalf of women representation, we have a complaint about queer representation. I have to wonder about non-white males or female representation. Are artists of whatever non-white colour or background being represented? And if not, why the lack of overall diversity not only at MoMA but in the art world in general. Hmmm.

Equity and parity in labor is the very same as equity and parity in institutional representation.
