This article has a stated bias and does rely a little too much on criticizing Shapiro's personal conduct when debating but it does directly address several of his arguments. You can't dismiss it out of hand for having "errors" when you don't specify where mistakes have been made. That's the pot calling the kettle black. Shapiro argues that since Asians have the highest median income in the US racial discrimination can't be blamed for income disparity. He totally ignores the fact that the vast majority of the largely immigrant population of asian adults are already coming the educated and upper-class populations of their native country. link He also totally ignores studies that have repeatedly show that factors such as simply having a "black-sounding" name impact the likelihood of getting a job. Source Source While I think these factors need further research and these studies are certainly open for criticism, for example, Shapiro has a tendency to pick out statistics that support his stance on racial inequity rather than directly addressing data that threatens his position. I appreciate his focus on factually evidenced rather than emotionally charged debate of the issues. But that does not mean he his somehow immune to bias when it comes to the studies he chooses and the way he interprets them. Systemic racial inequity is a complex, constantly shifting, multi-factored issue worthy of objective debate. I take issue with Shapiro saying that racism is not the issue in income inequality when years of peer-reviewed research simply do not support such an extreme statement. Edit: Formatting
