But there are different kinds of intelligence. Poindexter may excel at math while he is hopeless at anything involving good hand/eye coordination, while Jamar has a hard time in Algebra but can consistently nail the 3 point shot in basketball. Both involve brain sophistication, but different kinds. Neither person is "smarter" than the other one.

The problem for Jamar is that the economic value of the ability to make a 3 point shot is zero unless he is so good that he makes the NBA(in which case it is worth a lot).

Meanwhile Poindexter's math ability has a positive economic value along a wide spectrum of ability.

Yet the federal government's discrimination rules prohibit recognizing that Jamar and Poindexter have different economic values.

Yep, like welfare, education and so many other things, It’s none of the FedGov’s business. They should have no such rules. Frankly, the first amendment precludes such rules.
