My favorite factoid is that black and white incomes are almost identical when normalized for SAT score (black slightly higher). There is absolutely no aspect of leftism that can explain this.

My favorite factoid is that black and white incomes are almost identical when normalized for SAT score (black slightly higher). There is absolutely no aspect of leftism that can explain this. If group differences are due to discrimination (the absolute most holy belief in leftism), then somehow we live in a society that discriminates blacks savagely up to the minute they take the SAT, but not once second after. That's the only way you can explain it with a leftist lens. Like I said before, it's a religion.
You're only showing your own unawareness of the most basic elements of this issue. Anyone who has gone beyond the politics knows that SAT scores are suspect racially, and that the averages by race vary greatly for reasons most likely social, affected by generations of prejudice and oppression.
Yes, politics is typically much like religion, except largely hate-based, where religion in the US tends to be at least ostensibly love-based. You're illustrating that here yourself.
The fact that you think SAT scores are "suspect racially" is just so amusing. SAT scores are a rough proxy for intelligence/IQ. That's fairly well known. No one other than hard-left academics thinks they are racially biased. But it's irrelevant. Every single test of aptitude shows the same racial outcomes. You can scrap the SAT and replace it with any intelligence test you want and you will get the same result. That's why UC's are not replacing the SAT, they are just replacing with things that are more *subjective*. Because subjectivity allows them to pick and choose their preferred racial groups instead of relying on skills of aptitude where they know the results wouldn't be to their liking.
"SAT scores are suspect racially, and that the averages by race vary greatly for reasons most likely social, affected by generations of prejudice and oppression"
Hahahahaha. Actually no one thinks this at all other than hard left academics.
"averages by race vary greatly for reasons most likely social, affected by generations of prejudice and oppression"
There is absolutely no proof of this whatsoever. Dirt poor Asian Americans (including my wife, who grew up 6 people to a <500 sq foot "home") are dominant in standardized testing. So are Asians in Canada, the UK, Brazil, Argentina. Any country you can think of.
It's fascinating that "generations of prejudice and oppression" have led to a scenario where in ltierally every single country in the world, dirt-poor Asian immigrants outperform natives. You can't find one country where this isn't the case.
I know you will not change your mind to any evidence whatsoever (again, it's a religion). But I hope at least somewhere in the back of your mind you think "hmm, it is strange that black and white incomes are equal when adjusting for SAT scores. My world view really does not have any explanation for that."
Identity politics and the claims @scf0101 makes are entirely different matters. You can see the gaping holes in his arguments without approving of identity politics.

They are not.
They are a rough proxy for social exposure and interest.

Wow. Your choice.
You're a religious nut.

San Pete! Dude. Snap out of it.
Did you know that Factoid means "An assumption that is incorrect, but accepted as fact anyway"
