Well, isn't it just convenient that if we don't strive for equality of outcome then life will just have to remain tilted in favor of white/asian men

Does the fact that asian men are included not rule out racism and open the door to examine the issue further?
Uh, no not really?

That biases about race might be changing form doesn't "rule out" the idea of racism. You might as well say the increased inclusion of Irish people in the last few decades rules out racism in that period.

Why? Status quo is not the only alternative to equality of outcome.
to strive for equality of outcome just means eliminating peoples choice. we had that in the past. a few million people died ...
A few million people died in Iraq as well under the super-egalitarian, meritocratic, no equality of outcomes democracy of the USofA, so why does choice matter so much?
