Sorry but when I hear a lot of talk about white males etc, I am reminded of Leftie Professors I've known. It gets so tiresome after a while

Assuming an approximation of real capitalism with a market economy (vs crony capitalism which is really more of a fascist state), success largely correlates with ability, motivation and hard work.

Does anyone on this board really dispute that?
