> How about we judge people on their merits ?
That's fine if everyone starts from the same base and has the same opportunities which, currently, they most assuredly do not. Let's knock this privileged bullshit on the head until then.

Some of these Asian males may have come out of abject poverty in countries like India - worked all their lives for a chance at better living, were that given the "same" opportunity ?
Please stop this entitled thinking. We should aim to get all kids high quality education, not social engineering in the job market.
I know. Which is why "just judge people by their merits" is a nonsense argument.

But since there's little chance of the former happening within the next decade or two, we're stuck with the latter.
We can and should do our best to clear the way to ensure equal opportunity (not outcome) but it's important to realize what is actually reasonable and achievable vs impossible.
And that's why "we should just judge people on their merits" is a bullshit statement.

I am 100% behind this if it actually results in equal opportunities (spoiler: it never will.)
