because the jobs they really want- those high paying, cushy, corner office with a view jobs, whether they have the skills for them or not- are never going to be in their reach? Or that high paying sports contract?
Not saying this very well, but I bet a lot of this is tied up with how they view their place in the world, and whether they are "white" and deserve that high paying job simple because they are "white".
