**It is not necessarily a case of 'working hard' to ensure this, but of _allowing_ all ethnic groups to have equal outcomes.**
- Often there are societal standards and legal policies which go out of their way to favour certain ethnic groups, namely white people, and prevent others from succeeding.
- It should not be a case of 'working hard' to stop being discriminatory.
- The obstacles in place preventing equal outcomes of all ethnic groups are unnatural and often deliberate, and must be removed.
- The idea that it would require so much effort and hard work to ensure this feels like an excuse, based on disgusting, false, ingrained racist notions that non-white ethnic groups are naturally inferior and that is what prevents their success.
- If a track star was prevented from winning a race because someone decided to trip them up every time they ran, it would not require people 'working hard enough' for the track star to win, the tripper can just _stop tripping them_.
- I do feel that there are some areas in which it will take some effort to ensure this, and won't be easy since society has been set up against this for so long.
- It will also realistically not happen overnight, as attitudes must change as well as actions to ensure long-term equality.
