If you mean that this "mafia" of yours expects every last person to be
able to perform at such a high level that, for instance, every last
person could get admitted into the most difficult programs at the most
difficult colleges, then yet again we have from you even more just
making things up out of thin air.
If you mean that this "mafia" of yours wants blacks and Hispanics to
perform at as high a level as whites (which one would think everyone
wants except white supremacist racists), then, by your statement "Of
course, this is impossible...", you therefore mean that it is
impossible for blacks and Hispanics to perform at as high a level as
whites, which in turn implies that yet again we have from you even
more racist, white supremacist BS.
