> which I think is a baloney concept Understandable but we cannot ignore how history plays into these decisions you know? > No discrimination found other than that black people didn't do as well on a test as white people. I don't know the details of this case but there are a lot of systemic effects if the history of racism in the US that have lingering effects in society today. Consider how practices like redlining significantly affected finance and education access. Jail sentence time disparity and a lot of other often invisible ripples of what happened in the early years of this country. It's very hard to know what causes some of these disparities and sometimes a society tries to deal with it by using equal/similar outcomes as an admittedly flawed proxy for equal treatment while we try to address the underlying factors ( better schools, representation, access, etc.) |
