A minority neglected

Most people share the same limited notion of diversity. Nowhere is the population of persons with disabliities and elders considered in many issues before our government bodies. Is it because they lack a political action committee to make campaign contributions to politicans?
Upper-class persons of color, upper-class woman and upper-class homosexuals show they are diverse. The ethic lobby shows its diversity as well. The also exclude poor persons, persons with disabilitities and older persons.
That is bad enough. But upper-class journalists who ignore this overt bias show that they share the predudices toward those two groups and have no shame about doing so
