Was to be expected.

US used to be a deeply racist and sexist country, and in order to "make things up", people overcorrected, effectively creating a society that hates white men. Now the pendulum is slowly swinging back. Give it 50 years, white men will be in the position of power again, albeit to a lesser degree. Then it's going to be women and non-whites again. These cycles will keep going on. The idea that a deeply racist and sexist country would magically stop being such "because we've collectively decided not to be sexist and racist anymore" was naive. It's going to take generations to create a society where people are truly equal.
