Write by intuition. ALWAYS mistakes. Sheesh.

"SH: So we just simply don’t have the data on how many blondes got into Harvard last year. And nor would anyone think to have that data. We don’t want the data, nobody cares. How do we get there with respect to skin color and religion and anything else? That’s where I think I would want to be. The path open to us there is to cease to pay attention to these variables."

I'm totally, completely, and ABSOLUTELY SIMPATICO with SH's view of race. Same as mine, basically. Part-raised by Black man I worked for in formative years. Long story.

Difference being that blonde's culture/experience aren't in any way SIMILAR to Black's culture/experience. Me? Aggregate data should be kept on Blacks. And mebbe blondes too. That seem far-fetched to me, but who knows.
