I mean, even if I accept your bizarre notion that racial minorities were discriminated against on the basis of merit, you've got a glaring continuity error in your explanation of WHY they lack merit.
(And we haven't even asked why you think male-only hiring was widespread before Employment Equity programs made it illegal to discriminate against women. Do we want to go down that road? I think we do! Tell me, are women ALSO uneducated and unemployable because they are being denied an equal education because their teachers are obliged to maintain a 'gender balance' in grade promotion-- so they ignore any trouble a female kid has and pass her, but actually pay some attention to male kids? Or do you have a different explanation?)
Bonus: Earlier, you said you LIKED school desegregation as a policy, unlike workplace desegregation. Now you're claiming it makes black students uneducated and unemployable. How odd - do you like it *because* you think it makes black students uneducated and unemployable, or *in spite* of the fact that you think it makes black students uneducated and unemployable? Or do you actually not like it after all?
Extra bonus: Before you start screaming "STRAW MAN" and tearing off away from your own words in a desperate attempt to duck a point rather than defend or clarify? Don't.
[1]: And oh man isn't THAT a fun sentiment to unpack.
