From https://www.economicjusticelawreview.com/ejlrblog/2017/12/26/william-darity-duke-destroys-the-myth-of-black-inferiority-in-stratification-economics-context-versus-culture

Black immigrants from the West Indies come from poor developing countries where slavery was far worse than in the southern states of America and the schools not much better either. First generations of Japanese immigrants also came from a poor country and had to overcome language barriers as well.

From Thomas Sowell https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/58a6/49dec46a75716cc08013fa586525a8809b90.pdf

Monopsony has a monopoly on ambiguity and sexing up search frictions as exploitation too

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert”. - J Robert Oppenheimer.
