I love how they frame this as being fair and ensuring equality.... All the while NOT saying anything about the history of this country that necessitated creating programs like this to get people TO equality. If America was equal and just for 250 years we wouldn't need "equality" programs. Every kid would've had a good education, healthcare, and an equal playing field.

This isn't ignorance, it's just plain hate and a last gasp attempt to not become a minority themselves.
