... but his data are right.  The system is biased against anyone not in the preferred class -- moreso for some than others.  That doesn't mitigate our responsibility to address those other groups too.  Narrowing a much wider argument creates focus but dilutes support.  It's Hobson's choice, but the wider focus may be the smart one.

That shouldn't mean that racial bias should be subsumed in a greater cause.  We can walk and chew gum at the same time.
