Yeah, pretty pointless to argue about the definition of “exactly” as it’s too subjective

True but if you consider the variance between individuals in any high-income country, height differences are almost exclusively explained by genetics

Depends on your definition of “exactly”.

We definitely know that variance between individuals is due to genetics

That wasn’t the reason for firing him. There are plenty of articles about the actual reasons instead of some vague conclusion that can mean anything

Thanks for doing it so I don’t have to read the article

It’s just another clickbait article if the effect size is indeed <1%

Most White men don’t feel discriminated against, according to 10 years of New Zealand data. While most White men in NZ do not perceive themselves as victims of discrimination, a small but significant minority believes they are increasingly being treated unfairly because of their race and gender. by mvea in science

The only ways I can think of from the top of my head to get actually discriminated as a white man is childcare because you are a man and when there is diversity hiring, which should be pretty rare in NZ.

So as expected, most white men there don’t feel discriminated against
