>>93401422>If race was truly not a factor, then we'd see all races equally represented in all job markets, in all levels and fields of employment, in the prison population, and above/below the poverty line. Based on their percentage of the population anyways. But we do see this as a problem across multiple areas. except you're ignoring other factors. if "race" was the only factor, then sure, but what about internal culture?
For example, black culture celebrates Rap stars and "thug", and looks down upon education. That's cultural, not racial, and explains why there's a disproportionate number in prison.
Jews celebrate intelectual and artistic paths, which isn't racial, but is cultural...and why they're over represented in hollywood, government, and finance.
Asians culturally drive towards academic and corporate, which explains why they're over represented in higher grades, and high paying jobs.
by your logic, if race alone was a factor, we'd see an equal percentage of jews in hollywood and government according to their race, and an equal number of asians in prison according to their race...despite the fact that culturally those groups do not celebrate activities that generally lead towards prison, where as the culture of black communities does.
>It's also not an easy fix either since either buffing the underprivileged or nerfing the over privileged will result in cries of racism.because it is. you would be promoting or discriminating on the basis of Race (which is racism). Because your entire argument is "x race has harder, so we make it easier, y race has better, so we make it harder).
The irony is that has been tried (affermative action) and all it does is make y race actually work harder, still get the jobs, as x race still does exactly the same as before and fail to improve themselves because they culturally have no interest in that kind of improvement.
