There seems to be very non-Bayesian updating that goes on around this issue.

When White people do well at something, people update their prior that White people experience White privilege that makes it easier for them to achieve these things.

When non-White people achieve something, or White people do poorly, people update their prior that diversity is important to achieving good results.
