> No.. when you say that the children of people in the top 1% who are overwhelmingly of one race should be given disproportionate opportunities because of some genetic factor, that is racism. All I am saying is that if people who are in the top 1% got there because of being smarter and being willing to work hard, then to the extend these traits are heritable you should expect their children to have these traits as well. Such kids can be expected to do well in school. Should they be given disproportionate opportunities? Absolutely not. But if they do well in school do not assume that's because they have been given disproportionate opportunities! > I pointed out that the 1% is overwhelmingly white. And I wrote down your beliefs. That white people are genetically superior. Nonsense. I am not white, and I do not believe white people are genetically superior. I am Asian.

And that is literally racism. The idea that the groups that are in power are there for a generic reason. It's precisely what people in the 1800s said. It's literally what fuels Nazis and the KKK. All you are saying is something blatantly racist. I have no idea what else you want to me say to you? If you want to sit here and defend racism then I'm out. But I hope you can live with yourself every morning that you can read Mein Kampf and recognize yourself.
