It's not like that at all unless you can show me where exactly in that graph laziness is. All I see from that graph is that laziness maybe possibly is one of many possible answers, but the graph is inconclusive on laziness.

Like I said, a 1/1000 disparity would logically suggest institutionalized bias as a reason for the economic disparity, as 1/1000 disparity in work ethic is improbable.

It is up to people reading the graph if they think the 1/4 disparity is in keeping with the comparative work ethic.

The graph is relevant though because it informs the "institutionalized bias" vs "laziness" debate. The graph does not show laziness, but it can reflect "institutionalized bias" which we established is an explanation for the economic struggle that would suggest against laziness as the reason.

Put simply if 100% of the reason was laziness, then 0% of the reason could be institutionalized bias, and if 100% of the reason was institutionalized bias then 0% of the reason could be laziness. Since the chart is provides data relevant to the likelihood of institutionalized bias then it also provides data relevant to the likelihood of laziness as the primary explanation.

Also I don't know why you are busting my balls over this, because even if the chart was 0% relevant to the likelihood of institutionalized bias, it would still be relevant to the overall discussion of the wealth gap because it demonstrates the wealth gap.And so at very worst my topic is "Is bad work ethic the reason for millennial wealth gap?" and OP is data that shows the gap.
