Im pro meritocracy! Thats very easily explainable. Its because of a couple factors, but the big ones are lack of generational wealth among minorities and a differance in avialability of opportunity.
Because of societal issues in the past, minorities were less positioned to take advantage of ~~people~~ the economy. This means they were unable to accrue generational wealth, which directly leads into support systems that every single person relies on. Without that generational wealth you are less likely to take risks, stunting further economic growth. It also limits your ability to network, which is how you gain influence.
This directly leads to lower quality of education, less vocational training, higher crime rates, and a slew of other issues, which all directly impact your ability to gain and maintain new skills.
I believe the best person available should be flying my plane. Under our current system, that "best person" is likely a white male pilot because he had the strongest support systems and the generational wealth required to grant him the opportunities to refine his skills. Im not racist for wanting the best pilot. I would be racist if i failed to recognise that that best pilot is going to be white due to historical imbalance of opportunity.
We live in capitalism, so unfortunately id probably spend my time figuring out how to manage my new 95% higher workload for the same pay.
