I'm glad the #nobel #prize is #rejecting the idea of #gender and #ethnicity #quotas - instead preferring a #meritocracy https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-.. The #women and #minorities that get the #prestigious #award should not have their #achievement belittled, they won the award on their own #merits - something that would not be entirely true if it was awarded under another circumstance.
