Good on yer, Margaret. You do seem to get it right lately with your, err, original pieces. The G&M needs more of you, not less.

It's very hard in these days of social justice warrior repetitive nonsense to make sense of just how much is real or because-it-suits-our-side-imaginary unfairness. There is a hint of an important study to be made when you write that "Few of the respondents cited race as the motivating factor. Most blamed a variety of other reasons, such as personal appearance, education, age or political views."

Does discrimination occur because of stereotypes rather than real differences? Pretty obviously, yes. Someone ought to prove it. I'm not sure what to do with the results that are likely to show, for example, that Asians are discriminated against not because of skin colour, but because they earn more than the rest of us because they are smarter. Good for them. That's reality, but not a cause to hate. Ultimately, real differences cannot be erased.
