Are you suggesting the rarified, tiny world of competitive and pro athletics is a [b]consolation prize [/b]that evens out the gross socio-economic disparities between races in the US? A consolation prize that equals out the much lower household income of blacks and Hispanics? That makes up for the underrepresentation of those groups in positions of power and decision making and workforce in general?[/quote]

No one is making that argument and it's rather telling that you are the one to suggest that anyone would consider this a "consolation prize". The argument here is that seeking proportional representation is something pursued by those who refuse to acknowledge facts and use rational logic because people make different choices in life and often those choices are affected by cultural preferences that have a correlation with the color of someone's skin.

And you are refusing to acknowledge the fact that white men are overrepresented in positions of socio-economic power and it has nothing to do with them being so much more capable. You are he one refusing to acknowledge that centuries of legalized oppression leave a mark on people that doesn't just disappear some few decades after being overturned by the judicial system.  Yes, "cultural preferences that have a correlation with the color of someone's skin" - are you applying that to whites?[/quote]
