It isn't just genetics. It is educational deprivation, health outcomes, poverty, intergenerational heritage, environmental consequences, employment and occupational opportunities, and colonisation. Among other things.
And an awful lot of those factors could be changed for the better if we as a nation decided to focus on them. But so long as there are racists among us, and in our government, there will be no political will to do so.
As for "the idiot with the tattoos and culturally appropriated hat", at least he has the guts and the nouse and the drive to stand up in the Western parliamentary system we have adopted, and speak for his people. In that respect he is way ahead of many, is that superior genetics? Perhaps.
It sure as hell beats being a racist keyboard warrior.
