The fact that you’re casually comparing differences between users of different races to the different between people with different education levels is remarkable. You think that race is so meaningful?

I think your background and experience is meaningful. And, like it or not, people of different races frequently have differing backgrounds and experiences.

How's that not just a justification for discriminating against people based on race? Unless you're going to assert that those "meaningful" differences in "background or experiences" are necessarily positive, which is completely illogical.

I already described why I think they're positive. You remain unconvinced. Have a nice day.
