Because to identify discrimination, you need to measure it.

Without taking these stats, the Jim Crow South suddenly looks like an even-handed application of voting tests.

e: I will say, the number of comments I get from European commentators favoring the “putting your hands in front of your eyes” approach when it comes to racism in Europe does make it completely unsurprising how non-diverse their C-suite is as well as why they have difficulty attracting high-skilled immigrant talent.

Delusional arguments.

Out of the richest 1000 Americans how many are blacks? 1? 2?

And what's the % like in prisons?

Wasn't Oprah the only black billionaire in US like for a decade?

US attracts talents because there's much more money in US than elsewhere and the political and bureaucratic environment favors entrepreneurship.

Please quit lecturing people around the world bantering a moral ground you don't have.

The US has long had permissive immigration policy relative to Europe and that is absolutely one of the largest factors in America's dominance in industry and that immigration policy is a product of attitude towards immigrants. This is true historically - explaining dominance in the 20th century - and in modern tech, capital flows to where it can most effectively leverage high-skilled technical labor and that was the almost exclusively the United States until very recently.
