It isn't simply racism. In fact, racism is in a way a distraction from the real issue. The real issue is that we as a society tolerate wide disparities in opportunity and in living standards.

Then make it about poverty, not about racism. Yes, racism is a distraction. We should quit yapping about it or being politically correct about it or blaming everything on it. Let's move on to poverty if that's the next issue.

In fact, we not only tolerate it, many of us think it is "right," that it reflects the virtue or the competence or the abilities of individuals.

Do you really think that the virtue and competence of individuals do not affect one's standard of living?
