No, whites are 60 percent of the population and white men are 34 percent of the population. Yet they have at least double that representation as it pertains to jobs, wealth accumulation, and ownership. None of this is because white men worked harder, valued education more, and were smarter than everyone else. In short, merit had nothing to do with it. But now white men are demanding that everything must be about merit. That cannot happen until white men fix what they fucked up.
Stop looking for excuses to deny things. This is because of race and sex. Nothing else.
White women have benefitted the most from policies designed to create equal opportunity. As these women married white men who were already on the top, it increased white overall wealth. Do a search and learn.
