If it is wrong in one direction, it can only be wrong when the roles are reversed. Equality is just that, it isn't revenge.

On the money in your opinion, misguided in mine.

It's not about getting revenge. It's about giving people, who have historically been denied it, opportunities.

As BNR points out people have ALWAYS advanced on things other than merit. And part of it is human nature to assign/hire people who look like you and you are comfortable with for whatever reason.

So in order to grow the qualified pool of people sometimes the powers that be must take "affirmative action" to begin selecting people who have been, in large part, shut out.
