You're right, my mistake. You called the policy short-sighted. You clearly called me ignorant. Moving on now, since my goals are to (a) convince readers that you're wrong, and (b) convince you that you're wrong too.

The women and minorities that I associate with agree that policies like this one are essential for advancing their situation in society. I believe you when you say that you want to see improvements for the less advantaged - but I also believe you are very much incorrect about how to achieve that goal, and that if your opinions resonate throughout our society, much harm will be done. Your method of *not helping minorities* has been tried, and it has failed.

I will leave this debate now with a link to some good advice. It says basically everything I've been trying to say, but gets more than 500 characters to do it with.
