  Ultimately no, it benefits no one. Obviously some groups benefit admission-wise but that pales in comparison to living in a racist society. The benefit someone may receive is going to be less than the detriment to society. Even if you were granted all favor based on your race with day of reckoning (nevermind inevitable strife), dont you believe that on some deeper level you are worse off than if you earned from your merit?

  The term "institutional racism" is such a strawman argument. It acts as a catch all for essentially claiming institutions, coincidentally universities and government, are 100% racist. That just doesn't hold water given the past twenty years of these very same institutions doing everything they can legally and illegally do to boost minority inclusion. The ugly truth is that everyone is racist to a degree, no matter the color of their skin, and any opportunity or requirement that a person be judged on the color of their skin is unconstitutional.
