What exactly is the point of this comment? No where in my post did I say or imply that white privilege existing and racial discrimination existing means racial minorities are incapable of achieving successful, productive lives. There are MDs, MBAs, engineers, entrepreneurs, teachers, Ivy League grads that are women. That doesn't mean misogyny and sexism don't exist. Or worse we know they do but hide our heads in the sand. The way we move forward as society is by first acknowledging the problems of society in order to rectify them. I find it interesting how so many posters are having such a visceral reaction to the OP's request.
