Right now, when we see a disparity of outcome, such as fewer blacks getting into medical school, we assume that the problem is that medical school admissions officers are racist (if only subconsciously).

In reality, blacks get into med school less often because they qualify less often, and if you knew about the IQ distribution, this wouldn't surprise you even a little. However, the American response to this has been to reduce standards for blacks, to make up for the bias that was keeping them out of med schools. This is unfair to those people (overwhelmingly asian and white) who would have otherwise got these spots, and also makes the medical profession as a whole less skilled. You are more likely to be misdiagnosed because we are willfully ignorant of race differences.
