"if two candidates are equal or close to equal in qualifications, the one [whose race] has had more disadvantages is probably the better candidate and should be chosen." Now that I've changed it to say what you actually believe and have stated before, you can see why it's controversial. You are really struggling with the idea that race-based discrimination is something you actually favor even though society has told you you're supposed to be intolerant of it. It's leading you into all these contradictions and justifications. Modern leftists have resolved these contradictions by not making such bold simple claims as you did. I'll just leave you with an example from my own country. It's a kind of quota (100% for a specific race) so you might not like it or maybe you will. I have no idea because your idea is so inconsistent. https://www.westpac.co.nz/about-us/sustainability-community/our-people-communities/te-waiu-o-aotearoa-trust-scholarship/ https://www.westpac.co.nz/about-us/sustainability-community/...
