They do, but how many times do you need to stop someone from touching a hot stove before you let them learn their lesson the hard way?

That’s an entirely different conversation, and a strawman to boot. You clearly aren’t interested in actually discussing this. I can show you study after study proving that a bias exists against equally skilled applicants with an “ethnic sounding” name, but why bother, you’re not serious and I’m done engaging with you.

You should really ask yourself why you see raising up one group as necessarily lowering another. One doesn’t follow from the other.

Being able to admit that certain groups are systemically disadvantaged and wanting to do something about it is literally the opposite of racism, what are you talking about?
