RACE AND POLITICS. “No dogma has caused more mischief -- and, in some countries, tragedies -- than the notion that there is something strange and wrong when some groups are "over-represented" or "under-represented" in some occupations or institutions. This dogma is so widely accepted, and so deeply entrenched, that no one asks for evidence and no speck of evidence is offered. Moreover, tons of evidence to the contrary are ignored.”

I would disagree with Dr. Sowell on only one niggling point: evidence to the contrary is not ignored; it is actively and agressively denied.

Read it all - and Part I as well.
