It seems to me that there are two sides to these "discrimination" topics. One side says that a certain group has some general deficiency and the other claims that group differences don't exist. This can easily be tested. But the group that claims the differences don't exist refuses to accept testing. Clearly one side is bullshitting, and it is clear which.

Once the bullshitters are called out on it they switch their argument to something like "not all" or "other factors cause this". Which they inexplicably expect you to accept with no evidence, and if you don't that is proof you are a biggot.

A group has a deficiency when it's pressed into service it's not designed for. This occurs when people want to pretend that each is just as capable as the other in all areas, and attribute differences to unnecessary discrimination rather than essence.
