a) there hasn't been many studies. Many headlines about few studies which makes you think there are lots however...
b) If you read past the headlines into the correlation and probability theory of each study, you'll find that the reason why there is the difference is because of education and lower ambitions and goals of black people. You could say there is no real racism, only perceived racism, which then mentally affects the perceiever, and dissaudes them from getting better qualifications and therefore worse job prospects.
That is not in itself racism. That is a false perception of reality ends up affecting reality later on. I think it's called the self-fulfillment fallacy.

The social sciences suffer massive publication bias. Results ranging from failure of the study to support the hypothesis to the gathered data having being politically incorrect lead to research being abandoned.
This sort of seems like a semantics argument. If the effects of "perceived racism" are the same as the effects of real racism, isn't it still a problem? Don't we still need to deal with it?
