You just completely missed the entire thrust of my argument, which is not whether something meets patio11's criteria of discrimination, but the very question of what constitutes discrimination, and how your point of view and cognitive biases lead you to your own criteria, and not anything "objective" or "logical" or "scientific."
Your response to my point - "It's a question of values" - was to simply re-state your value.
If you grew up black in a black community, black piato11's straightforward definition would probably be: "Do American universities engage in recruiting and admissions practices that ensure that black students are significantly underrepresented among the student body?" This is also a binary question with a single, verifiable answer. At may elite U.S. universities, the answer is a resounding "yes," whether or not the "yes" is intentional.
You are operating at a level where not only do you believe the question itself has already been decided, but it doesn't seem to even have occurred to you that the question itself was ever in question, and that anyone might have a different view at all.
