Your view of a post racial society excludes any form of ethnic identity which influences occupational choices. IMO, that's not nessisarily a good thing. It's Basicly saying no culture has any value or no culture that differs from mine has any value which is vary ethnocentric.

No, no it doesn't. It's a perfectly valid answer (given appropriate evidence). The point is it's an answer to rebut data and it's one that it self requires data. In no way does it stand as an argument that we should not have the data in the first place.

Again, the presumption about a a post-racial society requires evidence. That evidence may be that ethnic identity issues explain discrepancies, but it can't be an argument because we live in a post racial society , data to the contrary should be ignored.
