There is this perverse notion that there is something like "fair discrimination". As a South African this is something I've been forced to accept. Actually what it does is breed extreme discontent and disillusionment in those on the opposite side of the fence. No amount of rationalization can make this palatable. They even do it in sports. What this does is discredit people because everyone is thinking "Oh look, a quota player" and any actual merit this person might have possessed is discredited because of the bias in the selection process.
