The "professor" who complains about so-called white privilege actually proves the point behind this thread. She also calls into question the wisdom of racial quotas which promote unqualified minorities (such as herself) into positions they are not qualified for.
So, basically the "professor" is arguing that whites are genetically superior to those unable to become proficient at math. Of course, she seems to be leaving Asians out of the discussion. Asians tend to perform slightly better than whites in all areas, including math. Hispanics are significantly below whites and blacks perform
ON AVERAGE worst of all. There is little doubt that this is due to genetic differences which cause members of the different races to have more or less difficulty ON AVERAGE when it comes to attaining math skills. No doubt the bell curves for each race overlap significantly, but ON AVERAGE performance varies and the only thing which seems to adequately explain that would be differences in intelligence and we know that intelligence is mostly determined by genetics.
