“Surely there would be a good study that proves one way or the other.”
No there wouldn’t be becasue it isnt just one issue. It is a deep history with effects that linger until today and manifest itself in many different ways. One excelent example that you cite.
“The issue with this is that Jamal & Lakisha are a specific kind of black (urban ghetto poor).”
That isnt an issue with the study. That is the point of the study. Even once theyve made it having grown up in an “urban ghetto poor” neighborhood makes it less likely to get a job. Arguably it should be MORE of a reason think of all the struggle Lakisha urban ghetto poor) overcame to get the same GPA as Karen, Lakisha should be MORE likely to get the job
I am not sure why you dismiss this very real problem so fast.
“thoae last names are only used by Blacks”
Are you being serious?
“Is there a different study that I missed?”
sure there are plenty
One of the biggest tickets to prosperity is home ownership. for decades minorities were deprived of this via redlining
As recently as 1980’s Banks were still more likely to lend to a lower income white family than a middle blacvk one.
So you have a group more likely to grow up in poverty poorly educated parents in poorer neighborhoods where property taxes generally fund schools, with worse teachers and worse access to tutors and extra help.
those that overcome all this are less likely to get a job thus perpetuiating this cycle, and you have a recipe for “systemic racism”
