These examples are not being used to "paint entire societies". These examples are being used to: (1) demonstrate that discrimination is still a real problem, (2) show that discrimination is often justified by biological arguments that average out individual talents, and (3) that removing public policies of discrimination are only the first step.
I certainly celebrate the fewer and fewer examples of public policies of discrimination. I hope over time there are fewer and fewer private policies of discrimination, but that takes time. It also takes an honest conversation about how "biological averages" are applied to individuals.
