Huge field study and meta-analysis find a small advantage for women with equal CVs, much stronger evidence which contradicts the orchestra experiment :
Black owned banks discriminate against black borrowers at a higher rate than other banks, suggesting the discrimination is due to covariates and not racial prejudice :
Also, one implication of the theory that there is pervasive discrimination in the labor market is that minorities who do get hired should perform better on average than other groups. But, in fact, the opposite is true, even on objective measures of job performance :
You make some good points but :
The orchestra audition study has been debunked a long time ago, by many people :

After controlling for IQ, racial income gaps do close, so that sentence wasn't true :

But regressions are not good to estimate causal effects anyway, so I don't claim IQ is the *cause*.
Considering all of this, I doesn't seem like racial discrimination is a very large factor in the economic outcomes of demographic groups.

Couldn't you just ask people to rank their priorities?
