No, it's a bit more repugnant when wrongdoing is backed by law. Whatever the motivation. It is wrong to require preferences based on skin color. Even if other people do it too. Two wrongs really don't cancel each other out. There would be a decrease repugnance, because one wrong would have ceased.

I am not open to removing any protections against discrimination simply because those protections may or may not contain various degrees of imperfection.

It's not a matter of imperfection. It's a matter of immorality. It's not a valid way to deal with the problem.
Yes it is. And in this thread I have already demonstrated the linked nature of AA and discrmination.[/QUOTE]
Show me why one can't believe that racism exists and also believe that AA is wrong. That's the claim I'm disagreeing with.
