[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Asians, Jews, Italians, Irish -- just off the top of my head -- have succeeded in America despite oppression and institutional biases against them. It's a work in progress, but I tend to believe we'll find that Hispanics are on a similar upward trajectory despite prejudices and institutional biases against them. Same with African immigrants.

I think the primary demographic that's not succeeding and is not on an upward trajectory are natural born Black citizens. I think they face prejudices and institutional biases that are more firmly entrenched against them than any other group. And I think there are internal cultural factors (created in part by historical discrimination) that also work to undermine the success of the demographic.

And, I think DE&I avoids coming at these issues directly, in part, due to political considerations. Perhaps if they can unite all non-whites against whites, they can obtain the political power they think they need to help Black people specifically.

What you don't mention is that all groups who have succeeded in America followed the same basic template, and at its heart is hard work, delayed gratification, and the avoidance of self destructive behaviors.

Jewish students were once described much as Asians students are today.  They worked too hard and studied too much.  Their attendance at prestigious schools was capped lest there be too many of them...
