You're asking most of the right questions. But the real question you should be asking is this: what's the solution?

Slavery. Jim Crow. Subsidized discrimination. The war on drugs. Several generations of government coercion used for evil. Peter Temin is advocating to fix the problem with more coercion.

Am I supposed to believe that we've somehow evolved past prejudice? That prejudiced people won't gain influential office and use Temin's prescriptions to target those they hate? Sounds like more of the same.

Let's break the wheel and give everyone the same opportunity.
