  • White people have a systemic advantage over black people in this country. I think we can agree on that

    If there’s a profession where black people make up the majority of the elites, then it’s probably not going to be because they received an unfair advantage or because the system was oppressing the white people. It’s likely to be because of other factors like culture. Why? Because black people don’t have a systemic advantage over whites in this country, so that cannot be the reason

    If there’s a profession where white people make up the majority of the elites, especially in a field that is majority black, then it’s much much more likely that the white structural advantage that we’ve proven exists in so many other fields is playing itself out in exactly the same way in that field

    Why would we presume that there is white structural advantage in all these other fields (STEM, medicine, politics, etc.) but NOT in broadcasting which is EVEN WHITER than those other fields?
