It's your inability to separate the two concepts that's awful, and your willingness to frame this in reductive, black and white thinking. I've never claimed "all racial inequality" comes from culture, just that racism doesn't tell the whole story and culture is probably a larger factor, and it explains so much about these concepts.

Culture affects a person profoundly, down to the way the prefrontal cortex is wired (which governs many processes critical to ethics and social function).

Explain, for example, how Jewish populations have managed to be so successful for thousands of years in spite of slavery, persecution, expulsion, exclusion, and extermination. Thousands of years of 'racism', yet they always come out on top. Is there an explanation besides culture? I can't think of one. And if culture can at least partially account for their success, then why can't it explain hardships among other groups?

Also the very racism practiced by Jews themselves could in part have lead to some of their cultural success. Their culture is very insular and heavily influenced by racial and cultural reasoning.
