That’s not really wrong. A meritocracy of any kind will have racially unequal results. A meritocracy only requires neutral rules not even results.

The Congo and Israel are not different because of skin color. Denmark and the CAR are not different because of religion. Detroit of 1950 and Detroit of today are not different because of the Constitution.

You can say the same about the NBA and NFL. In many cases, the best players are from certain groups. Hockey, is another. Meritocracy has to do with ability and intellect, not social engineering.

The funny part is how much DJT got so many minorities to vote for him because of showing people hard work paid off, not handouts. Not punishing success.

Dems and these morons in SF do exactly what’s wrong with America, continue to Balkanize people and expect the Communist system to produce prosperity. It never does and never will.

Been to a government office recently?

Meritocracy exists in college, and in K-12 in the form of grades and SAT scores. If you learn, and do the work, you merit the better grades and admission to the better colleges.

But, it doesn't necessarily have to result in racially unequal results. Race has nothing to do with it. In a perfect system, some years one race may do better than another (snapshot in time) but overall it should be pretty close to equal outcomes. Of course, we'll never have a perfect system but we should have a system where every kid has an equal opportunity to excel. That is not the case and it has nothing to do with self-segregated neighborhoods. It has to do with crappy schools, lack of discipline, etc.

If these leftists teachers were really interested, they would volunteer to work at the worst schools in the poorest neighborhoods. But they stab each other in the back at the chance to work at a better school.
