Gentlemen,

to me, it has always seemed that “racism” is just the neo-Bolshevik synonym for “bad”. A simple-minded slur with just a vague meaning.

Just like six-year-olds, who call everything “stupid” with which they don’t agree.

Yes, the Left uses accusations of racism - partially because the BoomerCons cave so quickly to avoid them.

But the Left set a trap when the BoomerCons agreed with the idea that there were no distribution differences in ability between races, and ethnic groups.

That is obviously wrong, as we all know, but the civil rights law is set up so that any unequal outcomes becomes “disparate impact” even if the procedures of that organization are scrupulously race neutral.

My late father attended the American Physical Society Conferences for 30 years. In that time he saw one black physicist. Lots of Jews, of course.

Now according to disparate impact, that outcome has to be a consequence of systematic racism, because we are required to pretend there are no group distribution differences in intellectual ability between Jews and Blacks.

That’s complete nonsense, of course, but it establishes the legal predicate for civil rights intervention.

The government now has the basis for intervention to correct the “systematic racism”. Which will always fail, but become grounds for even more draconian intervention.
