The argument is that there is already a discriminatory quota in favour of white men (as any casual inspection of the figures will demonstrate and would require wilful blindness to refute). But none of them are complaining about this of course. They are on the contrary complicit in blissful ignorance of the fact because it is so entrenched it has become institutionalised.

If you come from a disadvantaged position, you have to be better to succeed, not equal. White men don't have it easy but they have it less hard.
