How is it true that racism holds back the ecomony ? In fact it's racism that motivates successful minorities' everywhere. Jews in Mediaeval Europe couldn't own land or enter the professions- then they built businesses and produced a disproportionately large number of scientists, financiers and scholars. Likewise, the Chinese in Indonesia have had similar forces at work. And not just them, on a smaller scale Minangkabau and Bataks in Jakarta, and Christian overall as groups show signs of overachieving. Historians have studied this phenomena as an entreprenerial class' that kick-starts economic growth.No one's saying it's right. Or that it's high time for legal equality. Just that racism and economic success can go hand-in-hand. Ask a long-time Korean in Japan.
