No, but they help.
Now imagine that you look towards the bottom of the classes of students who could go to college, but probably won't because they have got poor results because they got a poor education (or, indeed, skipped school much of the time) and suddenly it's not so funny.

So once again, if the people concerned in my previous prison statement didnt break the law then they may just well be in College instead of prison.

And if my granny had wheels she'd have been a wagon.
It's all very well to say "ah but if..." but to make such a simplistic argument as this without looking at the background and expect it to be accepted as credible is just wishful thinking.

The fact that some people that happen to be black and educated to a high degree and then dont become professors is NOT an indication of career racism, does the survey take into account that thye may not want to be a professor? Does the system have to employ a black professor even though there may be no openings for a professor from any race?
This is exactly why I think these surveys and subsequent statements are a joke, ANY survey can be made to prove ANY hypothesis.

Whilst I don't deny that there may be flaws in the survey, the fact is that the "disadvantages" caused by racism start right from the very foundations of education and, indeed, society and that is something that should be tackled.
