From linked article: "For every student enrolled, the average nonwhite school district receives $2,226 less than a white school district" School districts are funded by property taxes, thus it is quite reasonable that schools in white areas are funded better than schools in black areas. Is this discrimination: Yes: If you believe that blacks earn less money because they are discriminated against, in spite of the facts there are enrollment quotas for schools, a much more generous scholarship environment for blacks, as well as laws favoring and subsidizing black employment, doing business in predominantly black areas, and black owned companies. No: If you believe, on balance, blacks are rewarded fairly for their earnings, which differ because of cultural and genetic reasons, in spite of the facts that there are enrollment quotas for schools, a much more generous scholarship environment for blacks, as well as laws favoring and subsidizing black employment, doing business in predominantly black areas, and black owned companies. Reverse discrimination: If you believe, blacks are paid less because of cultural and genetic reasons, but are paid, more for the same work, because there are enrollment quotas for schools, a much more generous scholarship environment for blacks, as well as laws favoring and subsidizing black employment, doing business in predominantly black areas, and black owned companies.
