So everyone owes their position to their race. Woohoo.
Very few people break away from whatever social class they're born into, regardless of race. If you're born poor you'll likely die poor, likewise if you're wealthy. But historically (and to some degree even today I would argue) in the western world being white and male has (had) profound advantages.
