No one is saying people don't work hard for what they have. That isn't the focus. The focus is that people of color, because of social conditioning that people of color aren't as smart, are lazy, etc. people of color have to work harder to overcome those stereotypes.
There is a term called the "Black Tax" where it is understood among blacks that they have to work twice as hard as whites for the same recognition because there are so many prejudices and biases placed on them.
While a white person may feel like they are putting in long hours, etc. A black person's work will receive more scrutiny. not in ALL instances. But enough to be noticeable and a problem.

For decades, black parents have told their children that in order to succeed despite racial discrimination, they need to be “twice as good”: twice as smart, twice as dependable, twice as talented. This advice can be found in everything from literature to television shows, to day-to-day conversation. Now, a new paper from the National Bureau of Economic Research shows that when it comes to getting and keeping jobs, that notion might be more than just a platitude.
There’s data that demonstrates the unfortunate reality: Black workers receive extra scrutiny from bosses, which can lead to worse performance reviews, lower wages, and even job loss.

Imagine working hard for what you have and then double that work to have the same thing.
I am not so sure this is true.
I've heard multiple people including flaming democrats say that they are afraid to give a bad review or complain to a boss about a black worker not doing their job for the team for fear of being called bigoted.
Putting in twice the work to get equal results? Are you speaking about Asian students?
Quote:
To put it another way: Asians need SAT scores 140 points higher than whites, 270 points higher than Hispanics, and an incredible 450 points higher than blacks (out of 1,600 points) to get into these schools. An Asian applicant with an SAT score of 1,500, that is, has the same chance of being accepted as a white student with a 1,360, a Latino with a 1,230, or an African-American with a 1,050. Among candidates in the highest (1,400–1,600) SAT range, 77 percent of blacks, 48 percent of Hispanics, 40 percent of whites, and only 30 percent of Asians are admitted.

no mention of race whatsoever. no matter. the SJW fascists are trying to get her fired for ‘racism’

We certainly can't have people who post facts and thinks about things involved in the school system. Time to silence and shut her down. We need to ensure all we have in the school system are people who understand all white people are evil and are the only problem in this world.

So?
That has historically been the case for every group on Earth.
It's not like American Blacks are the only group on Earth who ever had to deal with that.
That attitude is not only racial and ethnic, it spans nationality and is even sectarian.
The perception was always Catholics don't work as hard as Protestants.
It's also applied individually.
When you're the new kid on the block, you need to be doing it bigger and better than everyone else to be accepted.
That's just the way it is. Get over it already.

You do whatever you need to do instead of whining, oh, poor, poor, pitiful me.

That term is an old term and hadn't been used in years. That's not what it originally meant lol. It originally meant Whites had to pay more so they could live in a safe neighborhood, pay more in taxes for social programs, pay more in lost opportunities for affirmative action, pay more in intra-racial crime etc.
That's not to say it is true or not but that is borrowing a term and completely reversing its original meaning.
