You are obviously an evil person if you do so against the self
annointed, even though they self identify themselves as 30% racist.

This reminds me of the self-righteous political leaders of India
who enforced 47% reservations for Schedule Cast/Tribe groups
in all government subsidized institutions couple of years back.
And, it all starts with the same fallacious interpretation of
"equal opportunity".
Whatever your political philosophy might be you won't like
to see a doctor who is likely to kill you with an overdose of
codeine. Or would you?
Best,
