There are many people who disagree. Historically, the government and its institutions had a goal to create a color-blind nation. Heck, even Martin Luther King Jr. spoke of a day that people would someday be judged by "the content of their character" rather than "the color of their skins"[1].
Funds who judge people on the color of their skin or their sex, gender, or national origin is the opposite of color-blind, thus goes against the mentality that many of us grew up with. It is fundamentally a culture-clash that likely won't ever be reconciled between those with differing opinions. I personally don't think that two wrongs make a right, and I don't think that fighting racism and discrimination with racism and discrimination will make the country be better or come together in the end.
