I think you're missing the first point in both my summary and in the article: It does not need to be the case that "a certain race commits more crimes". It can, instead, just be the case that a certain race is arrested for

Frankly, I think they make one and only one point with a lot of different examples that make the same point in basically the exact same way: "as a woman in tech who has succeeded despite roadblocks, I feel like any amount of affirmativ

I did not assert that anyone who understands affirmative action must like it. I pointed out that the author did not grapple with any arguments for affirmative action in the entire piece, so it is unclear if they are aware of arguments in su
