No objection here but these things have been understood for a long time, yet they have been kept entirely out of the generally psychotic public discourse. Students learn that they shouldn't trust the white man's statistics but believe in "intersectionality" instead, rather than learn what it means to check how much variance is explained by one variable or another. I couldn't get my kids to deal with any facts while they were at Berkeley, for instance. They brought home trash like The New Jim Crow for assigned reading. When young adults are taught that that's part of a quality education, rather than something to be studied as a piece of propaganda, along with Mein Kampf, we're in serious trouble. The Berkeley professors would probably get canceled if they also assigned Thomas Sowell, just for contrast. I don't blame him for being as cynical as he is, having looked helplessly at this for decades. The MSM discourse replaced "poor people" with "people of color". During the pandemic, we got daily diatribes in the press about how the POC were being killed disproportionately, and the head physician of a hospital got fired for saying that the medical profession was not providing or refusing care on the basis of race. IOW, the mainstream discourse is completely delusional. Thus the reverse discrimination will continue, while the people who benefit from the corruption will keep crying the blues of racism that hasn't had any justification for decades already. And my family and friends will continue to keep burying their heads in the sand, and cover their ears, and think I'm crazy, or mysteriously a racist, in spite of my record, which isn't compatible with that idea. It's the same denial I see in the people "on the other side", justifying the Trump candidacy. Sorry for bringing that up, too.
