I absolutely agree with you. The culture of society at the hands of "the diversity police" has become one that strips the individual of any power or responsibility. We've gone too far off the deep end.
I think Milton Friedman put it best: If discrimination exists, then it presents an arbitrage opportunity -- because people that are "discriminated against" are cheaper than those that are not... there is no need for societal policing:
"The man who exercises discrimination pays a price for doing so. He is, as it were, "buying" what he regards as a "product." It is hard to see that discrimination can have any meaning other than a "taste" of others that one does not share. We do not regard it as "discrimination" -- or at least not in the same invidious sense -- if an individual is willing to pay a higher price to listen to one singer than to another, although we do if he is willing to pay a higher price to have services rendered to him by a person of one color than by a person of another. The difference between the two cases is that in the one case we share the taste, and in the other we do not. (110)"
