At what point do we decide that a difference in culture may make some careers more or less attractive to a group on average than a different population, and that that is OK? What if it's a cultural difference that has negative effect on the population in question? Do you respect the difference, or try to change things so that those in said population who would prosper under different outlooks can do so? This is a serious question, and I genuinely don't have a good, general answer. I can see this line of thought being used to superficially validate any bias one cares to in a "that's just how things are" kind of manner, which helps no one. But we also have to acknowledge that differences will lead to, well, differences. How do we differentiate between negative and neutral causality?
