I misunderstand or I disagree.
Sure, minorities do not live at the same level(prosperity, etc) of the white folks. No argument there. However, your suggestion of why I find hard to agree with. Maybe it is the legacy of slavery, but then slavery was the cause. Although that was where the problem started, it certainly is not the only cause of the problems today.

Then present a counter argument that explains our treatment of blacks - not "minorities" - in terms other than as the
legacy of our having enslaved their ancestors.
For instance, show me examples of other countries where blacks were never enslaved but are treated similarly to the way we treat them.
