Yes. The whole "inherent ability" thing is bullshit - even if it does exist, schools don't actually group by ability, they group by (a) how well kids do on tests at a young age and (b) how good the kid's parents are at convincing the schools to put their kids in a higher set, both of which have as much to do with race and socioeconomic class as they do with actual ability.

Whenever ability tracking is tried in any multiracial society, it always, and I mean always, results in markedly different outcomes for various racial groups. Is that not, ipso facto, racism?
