I think the more telling test for bias (genetic, social, or otherwise) is to compare groups with long standing US ancestry with recent immigrants of the same background and education.

My understanding is that while we attribute much of inequality to bias in treatment, recent immigrants and their decedents vastly outperform comparable individuals with the same skin color.

To me, this indicates that much of the differences we observe are due to biases of past treatment, opposed to discriminatory treatment in the present.
