  > Is there any reason why we expect different groups to perform equally? Becuase I do not believe an Indian's caste affects their inherent ability to perform IT work. If you do believe that to be true, of course you should expect a difference even in a perfectly fair society. > Can't some groups perform worse than others by random chance? This is extremely unlikely once you get to higher sample sizes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_large_numbers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_large_numbers > Are there really no other factors besides discrimination that could cause this? Well of course there are. For example, if one group is more educated than the other they're going to perform better. I made it sound as easy as "just see if the numbers don't match up", but in real life the statisticians that do these kinds of analysis account for other factors that could impact performance, so that if there is a difference it's purely "because" of the caste.
