>>The position that “there are no differences” is used to justify the position that “any statistical disparity in hiring and promotion in high-end jobs is due to racism”, which is a Leftist mantra.<<

The differences are still cultural. In the same way Asians outdo their White counterparts (by and large) it is because they study more and pay attention to education.

Even in wealthy households, the Black experience in the USA is doing well in school is “acting White.”

BTW I am not arguing with your stats, nor do I find them surprising.

Agreed. It doesn't matter how smart you are, if you don't have the drive to succeed, and having drive and energy is a big factor. If only those kids who spent hours practicing sports (in vain hopes of getting a pro contract with NBA or NFL) spent that time studying instead.

But meanwhile, look at #60, and read up on the Minnesota Transracial Adoption Study (not just the wiki link)
