Quotas.  Affirmative Action.  Race-based scholarships.  Preferential courses accentuating victimization.  

After over 20 years of experience in an organization which pushed  meritocracy instead of all that; after having supervisors, peers and subordinates of  almost every ethnic persuasion in the US for those 20 years who were judged on something other than their ethnicity, I view all of that stuff as perpetuating the concept that all non-Caucasians are inferior and can't succeed without all of that stuff to make them 'equal' somehow.

Based on my personal experience, that is flat wrong!  

Ethnicity does not equal inferiority.  

Ethnicity does not require 'special' offsets to ensure success.  

Criminals exist in all ethnicities; if one ethnic group commits more crimes than another, that is not because they are victims; that is because they are criminals!

Show me a black, Hispanic , Native American or other ethnic success and I'll show you someone who succeeded by hard work!
