An article in The American Prospect claims “We Can and Should Address Racial Disparities.” This triggered a question for me that perhaps you have asked yourself.
Social justice warriors claim all cultures are of equal value, and should be esteemed equally. Maybe so. But what if they produce unequal outcomes by emphasizing the importance of different behavioral attributes? What if some cultures are more achievement-oriented than others, or prize different sorts of outcomes?
I suspect racial disparities, to the extent they truly exist, are the result of long-term cultural differences which eventually become genetic as they advantage different individuals within a racial group. Those exhibiting the culturally prized attributes have more resources and better outcomes leading, over many generations, to greater contributions to the racial gene pool.
I conclude some cultures “program” their adherents to produce more economic outcomes than other cultures. Prove me wrong.
