Systemic racism exists
Charlie kirk
You're buying into a narrative that conveniently ignores the massive progress we've made. Look, if systemic racism was truly baked into our institutions, how do you explain Asian Americans out-earning whites by 30%? How do you explain Nigerian immigrants having higher college graduation rates than the general population?
The real issue isn't some invisible system holding people back - it's the soft bigotry of low expectations. When you tell entire communities they're victims of an unchangeable system, you rob them of agency. You create learned helplessness instead of empowerment.The data completely destroys your "systemic racism" narrative. Asian households earned 1.27 times more than non-Hispanic White households in 2023 - that's 27% higher! If this country was systematically rigged against minorities, how exactly did they outperform the supposedly privileged group?
Here's what actually happened: cultures that prioritize education, delayed gratification, and family stability succeeded regardless of skin color. 61% of Asians ages 25 and older had a bachelor's degree or higher compared with 42% of White adults. Merit matters more than melanin.
The left loves painting America as this racist hellscape, but they can't explain away success stories that demolish their victim narrative. When outcomes don't fit your oppression theory, maybe it's time to question the theory - not reality.
