That percentage IS really high in comparison. I guess the question is "why"?
No question history has certainly had an impact on this. It's not like slavery being abolished suddenly made the playing field even. Part of the problem is, for every real case of misfortune due to these events (mainly, slavery in America), there is an equal number screaming "inequality" and using history as an excuse for all their problems. I suppose recognizing this is important, but getting past it is even more so. The ironic thing is, the efforts that go towards making the playing field more even (sorry for the cheezy metaphor), actually can have the reverse effect and lead to even more segregation. This is my fear, which is deeper than any social hangups I may have with it. Anyway I don't want to beat this thing to death, so sorry to go on about it.
In summary, we all agree:
Slavery = Bad
Racism = Bad- I disagree********
