But we run the risk of going to far the other way by pushing this equality and fairness issue to far, to the point where positive discrimination of groups becomes the issue we face which isn't progress at all, it's a step back. As soon as people get over this idea of labelling and monitoring groups to make sure they are being treated equally then we will actually see equality.
Damn right. Even when you're making sure that every person from every background is given "equal oppourtunity" its racism in reverse. In an ideal world the only criteria people should be judged by is personal merit and their behaviour as to its positive or negative impact on others.
