Which part are you struggling with?
Thank you captain obvious
You're making the same error in comprehension that the research paper did in it's experimental design but they at least acknowledged the limitation of their design. Your error is in assuming that the metric of employee quality is comprehensively accounted for on a resume.
There is a large body of economics literature which addresses unobservable skills
Structural racism is illegal. If this is a problem somewhere, you address it through the legal system. You don't create more racism.
All you're doing here is defining racism- the idea that members of a race are inherently inferior in some way you can't quite put your figure on and which cannot be disproven by any actual information from reality...
The part that is cut off from reality. You write "The system is biased in favor of whites" but we see little evidence of that. When cognitive skills are controlled for there is no wage inequality.
If the system was biased in favor of whites then we would expect to see whites getting a bigger boost for every additional year of schooling.
This is patently untrue but we are having to pretend that it is.
What happened to Martin Luther King's hope that we should judge people by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin? It is Democrats who are most responsible for not implementing that dream. Everyone should have equal rights and opportunities and only when that is accomplished will conditions improve for all..
If the stereotypes that employers are acting on are inaccurate then the employers are hurting their own self-interest. Any employer who disregards the stereotype, if it's false, will be better staffed than his competitors.
As I noted earlier, the root of the problem is the stereotype, not employers acting on additional information as a means of minimizing the risks they incur when executing hiring decisions. Invalidate the stereotype and then the employers can't use it as a tool for risk minimization.

Look at the tighter clustering back in 1979 compared to the more dispersed results in 1999. In earlier eras, without federal discrimination law being abused by the government, employers were rewarding women for their education in a much more equitable process. Now though, black women are advantaged because when an employer hires a black woman the employer gets a bonanza - woman, black, and if she is homosexual, then the employer hits the trifecta and makes the racial and gender bean counters very happy.
How are you going to help invalidate the stereotype by removing their class mobility?
No, only that it accounts for quality better than the color of somebody's skin does. Duh.

WHY is it that Latinos have the reputation for being more hard working, more pliable and more reliable than blacks? Where did that stereotype come from? How did it arise? How did it get such a large degree of acceptance?
The same processes which give birth to stereotypes and help them spread can also be used to kill stereotypes and invalidate them in a broad audience.
Correct.
The argument from stereotypes -- you can't make this **** up.

It's hard to say to the black man, after he has been held down for 200 years, "Okay, you're equal now. Go forth and do good," and expect him to compete on a level playing field with those of old money, education and stature. But how long does it really take to play catch up? Our black communities need a helping hand. I get it.
White people turn on the nightly news and 8 times out of ten, the crimes they see are commited by blacks folks on MLK Blvd.
This is just Becker rehashed. If you are correct in your observation, then the problem solves itself. Irrational discriminators will be run out of business by employers who do not discriminate.
Agreed, but we're a LOOONG way from helping black people out. At present if a white applicant and a black applicant apply for the same job with the same resume- [removed blatant editorializing]- the white applicant still gets the interview 2.4 times as often
Despite that- despite the fact that we are continuing to discriminate against blacks to a massive extent- if you chart the median income of each race ever since the Civil Rights Act you see a pretty interesting pattern. All races have risen at about the same rate. When one moved does, they all move down, when one goes up they all go up by about the same amount. But, the gap between whites and blacks has remained constant for all 50 years- slightly over $20k/year. So they're moving forward just as fast as whites are, but to catch up they would actually need to move forward much faster.
So if black people are being depicted by the media as committing 8 out of 10 crimes then the media is out of control.
Im starting to think some of you were dropped on your heads... latinos and blacks have had a headstart disadvantage in a largely white controlled society since its inception.
I agree that Blacks were at a disadvantage but Latinos? How so? Latinos at one time controlled much of what is the USA and they still have Mexico , Central America and South America. How are they at a disadvantage?
There is a structural bias against them to this day that cannot be readily explained.
Of course it can't, and your statements verify that.
Allowing that bias to continue is in itself a racist act
What bias? Show where there is race based bias?
and would continue deprivation of their communities.
There are certainly problems in some Communities, Black, White and Latino, but that is more a cultural problem rather than anything race driven.
Utopian rants that if everyone were just treated equal in a society where government didnt interfere are pretty much conceptual dookey.
Nonsense. There have been many examples where people have gotten along despite racial differences.
If older folks who are equally qualified as younger folks have trouble getting the tech jobs that they need, then the government should step in there too.
So employers should hire incompetent people to meet government quotas? Do you have any idea yet why businesses are moving out of the United States?
So we were racist 45 years ago, that can't affect us today! sure :roll:
Are you still a racist after 45 years? Are those still the conditions in your State?
So every employer that doesnt hire as many blacks as whites to the ratio of their applicants according to their elegibility should be sued. Quite a ballsy undertaking. Something tells me we are where we are today because that is unfeasable towards the goal of getting minorities hired as equally as whites.
But not with the same unmeasured variables WHICH THE RESEARCHERS NOTED.
The data shows that there is no discrimination. That pay gap is a reflection of the different levels of mean IQ. When you control for IQ then the pay gap disappears.
When you employ your revisionist tactics then you should expect pushback.
Murder Rates per 100,000 population:
White Male (1997) = 6.7
Black Male (1997) = 47.1
Agreed, but we're a LOOONG way from helping black people out.
Despite that- despite the fact that we are continuing to discriminate against blacks to a massive extent-
Because they are unable to help themselves?
Today by and large one is not able to tell the race of an applicant until they get an interview.
Total bull****.
