If the social programs I'm advocating are implemented and after 2-3 generations there's still substantial racially based social and economic inequality, then we'd have to reexamine years of data, but at least we've leveled the playing field in a meaningful way for the poor. I kinda doubt that will happen based on high performance being linked repeatedly to the quality of school, but it's not completely impossible.

Let's say I have a son and my son has friends that all have birthdays on the same day as my son. Instead of having three parties, the other parents and I decide to have one big party. Did my son get a birthday party?
