the most consequential fiction of all is that any racial disparity today in any institution is the result of racism. if a cancer research lab does not have 13% black oncologists, the black share of the national population, it is by definition a racist lab that discriminates against competitively qualified black oncologists. if a law firm does not have 13% black partners, it is by definition a racist law firm that discriminates against competitively qualified black associates. if the prison population contains more than 13% black prisoners, our law enforcement system is by definition racist. the rule that racial disparities are necessarily a product of racism has affected institutions across the cultural and political landscape. perhaps nowhere more astonishingly than the fields of science and medicine. the crazy optimists who saw the diversity sledgehammer would never strike them, they were wrong. the american medical association insists that medicine is characterized by white supremacy. the biden administration's office of science and technology policy declares that science deepens inequalities. the smithsonian institution announces that, quote, emphasis on the scientific message and intere
