When Race Trumps Merit

Book • 2023
In this book, Heather Mac Donald argues that the current emphasis on achieving racial proportionality in various institutions is leading to a decline in excellence and an erosion of civilizational achievements.

She contends that racial disparities are more accurately explained by academic skills gaps and differences in criminal offending rather than systemic racism.

The book critiques the 'disparate impact' legal theory and its effects on fields such as medical school admissions, scientific research grants, and law enforcement, arguing that these changes threaten lives and civilizational progress.
