t's unfair to hold people today accountable for past wrongs. People today are not responsible for discrimination that occurred in the past, but they are being punished for it.
Perhaps they aren't being punished for creating it, but for perpetuating it. At least someone is making an attempt, instead of sitting on their ass condemning the only attempt at solving it.

it's simply a bad idea to force people to cater to the less qualified or less skilled. When one does so, one reduces the pool of competence in an area. It's more beneficial to society to help those who have the greatest potential, not to weed them out.
Perhaps. Yet, it is possible that by "catering" to those beneath us, we raise them up to our level, thus perpetuating the growth and developement of our society as a whole. Regardless of whether you push from the back or pull from the front, society moves.
