It’s surprising anyone would publish or conduct this research, as it presents a problem for “blank slate theory”. If human mating is assortive, then corellations between parent and child socioeconomic status are likely to be substantively due to genetic factors rather than solely oppression. The alternative would be a theory of “genetic oppression” requiring some sort of genetic equity, but that route is a trap for progressive thought due to that movement’s historical love of eugenics.

Please note, at the end of this piece, it says: "The researchers caution that the correlations they found were fairly modest and should not be overstated or misused to promote an agenda (Horwitz points out that assortative mating research was, tragically, co-opted by the eugenics movement).

They do hope the study will spark more research across disciplines, from economics to sociology to anthropology and psychology."

Perhaps this is evidence that your theory that people are obsessed with blank slate theory is not correct?

The alternative is worse, since seeking some form of genetic equity is proven disastrous.

Perhaps it’s not a strict dichotomy
