1) If I understand correctly, systemic racism is the primary cause of economic inequality. While I understand that racism plays a role, I don't understand how racism is the cause of non-black inequality.
2) How is it that racism is always the sole or explanation for inequality when there are so many other factors that have far greater correlation, i.e., family structure and completion of primary education?
3) What does Heather make of the fact (noted by her) that the implementation of the great society and affirmative action correlate with an increase in inequality following the period 1930-70 of relatively low inequality. Is there any connection?
4) Lastly, it would be interesting to hear Heather's thoughts on the recently published
The Myth of American Inequality: How Government Biases Policy Debate.
