U.S. income inequality has reached historical "Gilded Age" levels.
Since the 1980s we have seen a steady return to concentrated economic & political power, minimal business regulations, weak labor unions, stark disparities between worker wages vs. CEO/shareholder profits, and extreme inequality.

Research shows discrimination is driven more by ingroup favoritism than outgroup bias. "Ultimately, many forms of discrimination and bias may develop not because outgroups are hated, but because positive emotions such as admiration, sympathy, and trust are reserved for the ingroup" (Brewer 1999)

It’s mindboggling how many people believe that workplaces without "affirmative action" are meritocracies.
Over the past 25 years field studies with matched résumés or testers show that White applicants still receive 36% more callbacks than equally qualified Blacks and 24% more than Latinos. 1/1
