      The point is to aim for equality not aim for superiority (some getting extra help others getting none) because of the past because you will overshoot and it’ll just be a pendulum going back and forth and each time somebody is worse off than the other because of their race. Treat everybody the same and we will eventually all be the same.

        I agree that systems of aid should be income-based and not race-based, but the idea that we will somehow overshoot and end up in a society controlled by nonwhite people is pretty reactionary.

        Treat everybody the same and we will eventually all be the same.

        You’ve completely lost the plot. The purpose of race-based aid is to offset systemic inequality that still exists to this day.

          Don’t know, but it’s certainly not all of them forever which is a what will happen if it keeps the pendulum model.
