Intellectuals and Race: Part II - Thomas Sowell - Page 2:
"Why then do statistical differences between blacks and whites set off such dogmatic assertions -- and "disparate impact" lawsuits -- when it is common for different groups to meet employment or other standards to different degrees?
One reason is that "disparate impact" lawsuits require nothing more than statistical differences to lead to verdicts, or out of court settlements, in the millions of dollars.
And the reason that is so is that so many people have bought the unsubstantiated assumption that there is something strange and sinister when different peoples have different achievements.
Centuries of recorded history say otherwise.
But who cares about history anymore?
Certainly not as much as they care about the millions of dollars available from "disparate impact" lawsuits."
