OK.  
Official Liberal policy financed by taxpayers:
1. Race/gender of the researcher is more important than the quality of research itself.  
So why would we pay for substandard work?
2. Women and minorities are not capable of securing these positions on their own merit. 
Isn't that nasty paternalism that we're always hearing about.
3. Qualified white applicants should seek positions elsewhere - likely in the US. 
Don't they call that Brain Drain?

Meanwhile,  did anyone ask the women and minorities who get these positions how they'll enjoy trying to overcome the natural tendency for critics to question the quality of their work simply because we all know why they got the job on the first place? 

Other than soothing the conscience of guilty white liberals - how is this good for anybody?
