| Geoff,
You said :
"They found:
1. Businesses owned by asian's performed better than those owned by whites.
2. Those owned by blacks and hispanics performed worse.
3. Those owned by women performed worse than those owned by men (except for black owned businesses, where this was reversed).
These results suggest that there are issues related to race."
No qualifiers whatever.
Now you say the studies were relative to US, UK, Australia, NZ.
This is an important qualifier because these are typical WASP countries.
So your studies do not support your conclusion. They could equally well be interpreted as non-WASPs having less chances then WASPs in what's basically a WASP-dominated territory.
I don't know what your studies themselves say, I just now it is not very polite to use studies to support a conclusion that can't be supported, and most probably was not intended to be able to be supported, by them.
Such mistakes are not conducive to getting lots of interest in what you say for the remainder nevermind the erudition with which you say them.
That's all.
