Sure, but we're talking here specifically a policy based on a racist concept, which goes on to normalize it, aren't we ?

- falcolas 3y agoThe policy was based on several factors, of which race was one. And helping some groups of people - yes, sometimes the grouping is determined by race - is not discriminating against everyone else. In other words, lifting Asians, Blacks, Hawaiians, and Eskimos is not being racist towards "Whites" as is asserted elsewhere in this discussion. I use quotes because white is a pretty new categorization. It used to be Germans, English, Italians, Irish, etc.
