It’s extremely naive to think that those traits don’t have impacts on academic performance and capability. Not to say that black people are biologically more <whatever> than white people, but their experience living as a black person in this country has direct impacts on their academic experience, both historical and future. A pure meritocracy ignores the benefits of diversity, both to society and at the individual level.
