I know there's racism, and it's real. People are treated like shit, to such a degree that their constitutional rights to liberty and the pursuit of happiness are clearly violated. But we're not talking about that right now. We're talking about employment chances and the ability to earn a high income.
Quote:-If- you solved whatever malnutrition and drug problem you think is causing the issue (both massively prevalent in whites, btw, but facts, who fucking cares..right?), and then improved test scores...somehow, you would still find that it is difficult to network in a segregated environment, that racial bias leads to low levels of callbacks, and that landing the job leads to lower pay at all education levels.In disregarding environmental catastrophe, you are then saying that black people's poor test scores are due mainly to heritability. If so, then an employer, given a black candidate and say an Asian one, presented with a degree but without specific test scores, would likely go with the very high probability that the Asian person would be more intelligent-- or at least, that the Asian person would have scored better on their SAT tests.
How do you deal with people making decisions based on facts, with the intent of benefiting themselves? Do you impose equality of outcome-- quotas, and so on? What's the point of shouting about racism if there are actual differences among races?
Quote:The Real Problem™ of racism, is racism. Not that blacks are dumb malnourished drug addicts with low test scores..hurr durr.If by racism, you mean that black people are attacked, insulted, and generally shat upon, then yes, absolutely. It's one thing to correlate various measures of success with race. But to generalize that to a disregard for someone's humanity-- that's a very different thing. The problem is that you conflate one with the other.
