I think that’s very far from removed from the current political discourse. When looking at an issue such as black people getting payed less, then the modern leftist doesn’t think about how to change black people.
He thinks about how to change society in a way so that black people are payed more by passing anti-discrimination laws and instituting quotas.
The whole notion that the black person is to be changed just isn’t there.

In other words they want to fix things by a combination of force of will and legislative fiat. While pretending that the underlying cause, racial differences in ability, doesn’t exist.
It’s still a very different philosophy than the one you spoke about above. When you treat all kind of different philosophies the as being the same you can’t meaningful talk about them.
Yes, employers have noticed that blacks tend to be less qualified than whites, even when the blacks have degrees (remember affirmative action is pervasive in colleges) and this effects who they decide to hire. So I don’t see your point.
Also, if you hire a white employee and he doesn’t work out you can fire him. If you hire a black employee and he doesn’t work out you risk a wrongful termination suite if you fire him.

Or they have evidence that that isn’t the problem.
