If that's the case (and I think I largely agree with you), what action can we support? Only action that isn't discriminatory? Or is there some threshold for fair discrimination between races? Obviously such a threshold exists between sexes, or for disabled people, but there are biological differences there.
Are affirmative action programs of any kind allowable? Ethnic scholarships?
It seems that this is an impossible bind: without discriminating (judging who can or can't do or get something on the basis of race), how do we rectify past racism, which by definition was racially discriminatory?
