but they know this too. their belief is that white men ought to be entitled to the most valuable and prestigious positions irrespective of whether they can actually perform in them.

And white women. Forty years ago, my wife, who is Black, had to defy her high school guidance counselors just to apply to the University of Texas. She has her Ph.D. from there. Today, many of these people think that Black people shouldn’t be able to apply. That is the direction they are going.

Well, I also think people really like that idea of meritocracy when it means history suggests people like them have more merit than everybody else. Overrepresentation in elite spaces becomes evidence of superiority. It’s hard to convince them to give that up.

Often, the most qualified is the one who accepts the pay we offer. Also, if all the applicants have the same background, ofc subjective factors play a role. Besides even in "prestigious" factors, it's subjective. Ppl choose "lesser" thgs for good reasons-- no finaid, distance from fam, etc

Which boxes do you need to check? Why affirmative action was so good. You grew up in a crappy rural or inner city area, with a single parent and got 1250 on your SATs, impresses me much more than the kid who had 2 professional parents and tutors getting 1400.
