I think I wrote that sentence a bit weird, what I meant to convey was that the "cultural" reasons were the only ones drilled into. The claim that non-white cultures are inferior to white culture in some way has historically been a justification for inequality (and for colonialism, slavery, and other systems we'd likely agree are manifestly unjust.) I'm disappointed the author didn't engage with diversity advocates or their claims in a more meaningful way. He acknowledges the well-researched sociological evidence for institutional racism, and I feel like a discussion that starts there is more valuable than one that knocks down this strawman of the person who "weaponizes diversity." Though to the author's credit, the piece doesn't read like it's intended to dismantle an entire field of study, rather it seems to jump between sharing anecdotes and extrapolating widespread political solutions from those experiences.
