Ironically, in the USA, the law makers had to explicitly specify in the Affirmative Action law that it did not violate previous Anti Discrimination laws in order for it to not be overturned in courts.
Personally I maintain that instead of 2 groups (A & B where group A seems to have had the advantage in the past) there are really 4 groups Aa, Ab, Ba, & Bb where in the past Aa & Ba got the jobs/promotions (perhaps not equitably) and Ab & Bb did not. So to correct the problem we do not punish the Aa group for having the advantage, we punish the Ab group instead.
To me that seems like punishing one of your sons because the other son cheated your daughters. This is not "reverse discrimination" it is "discrimination", plain & simple.
I doubt anyone in the "black community" would agree that we need to increase the number of white athletes in the Olympic field & track area because blacks have an overly large proportion of participants.
