About your leveling the playing field because of discrimination, while it exists, as I pointed out I dont believe it would do anything but compound the issue. Racism wont go away if you reinforce it.

Why shouldn't race be used? Race is part of any number of involuntary personal characteristics that contribute to socioeconomic status. Why should race be less important than income?
