I called the policy short-sighted. Read your reply again. Casting aspersions is unnecessary and adds nothing to the debate. 

You and I must know very different women and minorities. The folks I live, work and socialize with find the policy you advocate totally unnecessary and demeaning. They're more than capable of competing and succeeding on their own, and they don't want their achievements sullied by those who aren't. They don't need an external enemy to absolve them from taking responsibility for the disappointments in their lives.
