Confronting Myths of Systemic Racism: A Deep Dive with Heather MacDonald | The Vivek Show
In this powerful episode of The Vivek Show, guest Heather MacDonald, renowned commentator and author of 'When Waste Trumps Merit', provides a thought-provoking perspective on racially conscious policies, systemic racism, and the academic skills gap in America. MacDonald argues that family culture, not racism, largely influences this gap and explores the role of victimhood culture in distorting our understanding of the present. She also challenges common narratives about racial proportionality, offering insightful counter-examples such as the success of West African immigrants in the US. Join us for this frank and eye-opening discussion on race, crime, and education in America.
