Critical Race Theory and Disparate Outcomes

Critical race theory (CRT) assumes ongoing racism in America based on the existence of disparate outcomes. According to this theory, any disparity between blacks and whites, regardless of the reasons, is attributed to racism. Individual instances of discrimination are not necessary to allege racism, as mere disparities are seen as evidence of systemic racism.
