A study analyzing the General Social Survey data, collected from 1974 to 2004, and on the racial disparity in earnings, is presented. It is observed that, racial disparity disappears, once cognitive ability is controlled. Also, racial discrimination was not prevalent during the early 1970s, in the United States. This provides a skeptical view of the need and justification for preferential treatment of ethnic minorities.
