Low-status nerdy introverts get picked on in school, and low-status nerdy introverts going to majority-minority (a masterpiece of modern ambiguity!) schools get persecuted. They get short-circuited out of high school before they even get the chance to get short-circuited out of college.
The appraiser licensing process is onerous, eliminating all aspirants who are not well prepared in intellectual capital and well supplied with spendable cash for what amounts to an apprenticeship to a poorly-paying tradesman’s job: Low dough, low status, high risk of conflict and litigation.
Now take the few black candidates who might have qualified for that gauntlet and destroy their prospects with high schools from hell.
I expect it makes no actual difference in housing evaluations, but that’s why there are so few black appraisers: Few black nerds make it out of high school whole – and those who do have much better prospects than grinding away pricing houses.
That argues that appraiser-licensing standards will be lowered to admit marginal candidates, which in turn argues that flesh-and-blood appraisers will be replaced by Automated Valuation Models – only as biased as the software and stone reliable – and then there will be no more appraisers.
But even then, majority-minority high schools will still be hell for everyone condemned to them.
