Default Re: the soft bigotry of low expectations

Well I don't think there is a serious discrimination problem now. I think there used to be a serious problem, but I think the problem is by now quite mild.

Many people argue that there must be still a serious discrimination problem because group results are not yet equal. But this is based on the presumption that group results necessarily would be equal if not for discrimination. Not questioning that presumption is a serious logical error.

Asians currently outperform white Americans scholastically, and earn more on average than whites as well, right here in America. Does that imply that whites are the victims of discrimination compared to Asians?
