Support of capitalism is not equality either.
No it is not. (tu quoque I think)
However,there is a practical difference: I have pretty much always benefited from capitalism. I would not benefit from affirmative action,unless they accepted atheists as a disadvantaged minority.
As is usually the case,my objection is based on self interest rather than sentiment or non some non existent absolute moral principle.
