Man the issue is, are worse outcomed for the whole group caused by racism or not? That's the topic.
If there is even a small lower intelligence not caused by racism in a group, then average outcomes income wise will be worse for that group even at 0 racism.
The whole topic is about "why are some groups having worse outcomes, because society is bad, or because they can't do better", that's the topic.
There is no request to restrict any right by race, just the admission some groups fare worse because their talents aren't the same as other groups and in the current arrangement of society, some group talents are less useful
