If you really feel this way then you should really be in favor of equal opportunity and affirmative action. Those things exist for a reason and the argument against them would only seem to prolong it.

See, I don't know of anyone who can say racism and/or discrimination doesn't exist. Someone was thoughtful enough to put certain mechanisms in place to combat this. For the people who would want to do things fairly, the argument shouldn't be with those discriminated against, it should be those doing the discriminating. Flush them out and tell them, "Would you knock this off? Your actions are costing me!"

People who do this should be social outcasts. Sure, it will never happen because many of these people, and their friends, are in positions of power. But still the argument may be directed at the wrong group because we know this is real.
