It's so bad you can become President, or a supreme court judge.

So, so bad, they even get the privilege of being able to say things whites can't, without consequence.

I find it odd how anyone claiming systemic racism exists in the US, can't provide any objective data to support it. All they do is cherry pick statistics which show poorer outcomes. Unequal outcome is not proof of oppression.

It's not odd at all, it's expected. Objective data to support it does not exist, so they have to cherry pick statistics and ignore any data that doesn't support their conclusion. They start out with the conclusion first and then search for data to support it.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Nonetheless deniers (of anything) choose to ignore that.

But its supposed to be a HHHUUUUGGGGEEEE problem having a MMMAAASSSIIIVVEEE impact on the lives of millions. They really can't quote any hard evidence? Is it hiding behind the elephant over there?

I can't quote any solid evidence that being short is an impediment to becoming a political/corporate leader. Nonetheless, there are sufficient anecdotes to indicate it is the case.

My father used to say that if you found a company being run by a short person, invest in it - because that person has probably got something extra over most CEOs. Nowadays I'd s/short/female/, by the same reasoning.
