Author posits that while humans seem to naturally be drawn to teleological explanations, teleological reasoning doesn't help us understand (and in fact hinders us from understanding) the specific causes of racial inequalities.

Thank you for posting such a thoughtful article. To me the point he makes is common sense but he does a really good job writing about it. I think one of the biggest issues is disparity in childhood education. School choice is a good way to address it.
