Is meritocracy overrated?

Which is why it gets turned back to racism, that is the much easier answer. I happen to agree that it will not be a quick fix, but listening to most folks, they want every problem addressed right now. The opportunities have been equalized you say, oh well the outcomes aren’t even close, so racism!

Not many people speaking about the inherent problems within the communities that need to hear it in order to start the change. It is much easier on the ears to blame it on someone else, anyone else.

BOTH things can happen. Both things need to happen. Encourage, not enforce, diversity

Acting white is something that the white community can do jack and shit about. If the other cultures deem the things that white people do as “not for me” when a lot of the things they do also correlate to success, then wow, talk about cutting your nose off to spite your face.

Whatever we can do to change the dynamic of the conditioned responses, we need to do. But laying blame is a sure fire way to just divide some more resulting in little positive accomplishment.
