> You can't get away from being sexist and racist by adding more sexism and racism. It's quite literally fighting racism and sexism with racism and sexism. The mindset of people who support these types of policies is that all types of racism and sexism are not equal. They believe racism and sexism can be used as a positive tool when it helps a minority and isn't permanent. It's very important that these policies be temporary even if temporary means for decades. Otherwise we are just institutionalizing racism and sexism which I agree is toxic. However, they can be useful in nudging society away from racism and sexism overall even if it's increased while the policy is in effect.
