Let&#x27;s say we all started ignoring everything you&#x27;re talking about today.<p>Currently a black family making $100k will live in roughly the same area as a white family making $30k.<p>This family is also much more likely to have family that has gone to prison due to previous racist institutions, and less likely to have had 3 generations of parents having gone to Stanford.<p>So sure, race gets ignored, but do you think people will start ignoring all the other social signals? Even if you ignore everything else, being born to a white family in itself means you inherit centuries of advantages<p>This is the justification behind affirmative action. Even if it might not be &quot;fair&quot;  when looking at an individual case, its also pretty unfair when a kid just happens to be born to a family that has had opportunity robbed from them until extremely recently.<p>Your end goal might be laudable, but the path to reach it requires corrections
