Ethnicapture
Ethnicapture refers to the dominance or disproportionate control exerted by a particular ethnic group within an industry, organization, or system, often resulting in imbalances, limited opportunities for other ethnicities, and potential biases or discrimination.
The term "Ethnicapture" draws parallels from the concept of "regulatory capture," which involves an industry's control or influence over the regulatory agency that oversees it. Similarly, Ethnicapture evolved to describe a scenario where one ethnic group gains disproportionate control within a specific industry or system, leading to imbalances and potential biases. It extends the idea of capture beyond regulatory contexts to highlight the dominance of a particular ethnicity, affecting representation and opportunities for others within that domain.

I feel like certain communities have ethnicapture of the political sphere, making it challenging for other groups to have their voices heard and considered in decision-making processes.
