> If racial gaps for Blacks had been closed 20 years ago
A gap is an interval, meaning a spread of outcomes is inevitable in narrowing.
This statement assumes the gap to be closed by raising Black wealth to that of Whites. That's sloppy.
What if the gap is closed by bringing both populations to the median? What if the gap is closed by bringing both populations down to the Black standard?
All three of these are equality of outcome. If there's an argument why the best of these outcomes should be presumed, it hasn't been made.
