Disparate impact realism

I have written repeatedly (for example, here, here, and here) about the contradictions and pernicious effects of disparate impact theory in all walks of life. My attention was recently drawn to an interesting paper on the subject by Amy Wax, Professor of Law at University of Pennsylvania, entitled Disparate Impact Realism. The final sentence from the abstract states:

Disparate impact litigation, which does nothing to correct existing disparities and distracts from the task of addressing them, represents a cumbersome, misplaced effort that could better be directed at the root causes of workforce racial imbalance.

Here is a link to the abstract, from which you can download and read the entire article.
