We are forbidden to notice those differences according to the current politically correct narratives.
Well, except for "Affirmative Action", and "Minority Set-Aside", and "Disparate Impact" policies, which benefit certain political factions.
"Sportsball" is a very unforgiving objective test. You have winning teams or you are gone. Blacks dominate such athletic events because of superior skills, not "racism". Those skills are mostly genetic in origin, augmented by good training and good coaching.
Software Engineering is another unforgiving objective test. The machine does not know or care about your racial and ethnic background. The application must work correctly and usually by an unreasonable deadline. Whites (and in particular Asians) dominate such trades because of superior intelligence (and several other X-factors as well). Those skills are mostly genetic in origin, augmented by good training and good management.
We rather badly need a social narrative that deals with reality instead of trying to ignore it.
“We rather badly need a social narrative”
My opinion is that we have too many of these narratives — of comparing one group with another. How unfair is it to demean a brilliant, say, black person by pointing out that he’s a member of a race that by some statistics is deemed less intelligent.
I’m a white person.
