Gruss, While the fact that there *are* black CEOs and women CEOs shows that changes have been made -- my point in advocating an affirmative action program based on family income or school district rather than race -- the thing is that their existence does not disprove prejudice, which does still exist.
In fact, after taking a lot at the reports I posted yesterday, I am not sure whether I agree with myself anymore when it comes to education. But there is a problem even if it is a smaller problem than it used to be. Take a look at the income numbers I just put up. They are recent and there is a very real disparity.
