Ed Dwight washed out of astronaut training in the early 60s, and the military tried to railroad Chuck Yeager for it. Had Yeager not gone way above and beyond what he did for pretty much anyone else trying to help him, they might have succeeded.

It's always been the way it is now: if a White doesn't like the "content of character" of a non-White it's because of secret racism. And how do you prove you aren't a secret racist? About the only way you can do it is to assume a priori that all races are the same, because any observable difference could be the result of secret racism. Then you use statistics to determine whether or not someone treats different races differently in a statistically significant way. Which could also be because there are statistical differences between races, but because we've declared a priori that can't happen, it must be due to secret racism.

Enter the Disparate Impact Hypothesis, the prevailing dogma of American race relations since the Civil Rights Act and the core premise that underlies modern conceptions that "structural racism" is the cause of discrepancies in outcome between racial groups.

As Jordan Peterson likes to say "it couldn't be any other way than how it is".
