No, it only seems obvious if you assume that all racial groups should have outcomes that exactly mirror their demographics with racism being the only possible explanation as to why this has never been the case anywhere for anything. The solution is just as imbecilic as the diagnosis: we will solve bad racism through good racism until we get exactly the proportions we find equitable. Meanwhile we teach kids that the color of their skins is more important than the content of their brains when it comes to getting the education they want. What could go wrong?

Strawman. Helping balance the scales isn't insisting all outcomes are exactly anything. Just that they aren't horribly unbalanced.

To the one on top, fairness seems to be oppression. Clearly, that is happening here.
