Familial wealth is correlated with race.

Familial wealth provides an individual with more free time, generally.

More free time before a big interview means more leetcode prep time and memorization of the answers.

More leetcode prep time leads to passing leetcode interviews more often.

This isn't that complex.




> This isn't that complex.

It really bums me out when people reach for this kind of "how are you not getting this" slight. You could have just explained the reasoning without implying that the asker is an idiot. You're just making yourself harder to hear.


It really bums me out when people don't understand basic microeconomics


Bullshit! Absolute utter woke bullshit!

I don't have familial wealth and I can study for stuff. I happen to spend around an hour a day (most days) studying programming-related topics.

I'm sick of this woke nonsense pervading society.

Studying for a Leetcode exam has sweet-fuck-all to do with race!


The keyword was ‘correlated’, thanks for the anecdote though
