The NBA is an extreme example in another field. The trouble is that such programs, though they should be legal in a free society, are bound to create resentmant. The only fair way to introduce workplace diversity is to change the distribution of qualified workers and the only fair way to do that is to insist on equal treatment for all from entry into school to the job market. Job diversity will then reflect the interests and skills of the population, not demographics. Group victimization and group guilt are demagogic myths.
Discrimination is individual and personal.
Penalizing a member of one group in favor of a member of another group to rectify past discrimination not involving those two people is illogical, unfair, and dangerous. Emotion is a group phenomenon and the most likely feeling engendered in the losing group, black or white, male or female, is rage. But if you're a white male and you loudly express this rage, you're not a voice to be heeded, you're a racist, sexist, or right wing extremist to be reviled and feared. Sometimes this is prophetic.
