I was small, weak, and bookish in school - and I got beaten up a number of times. Do I deserve a scholarship for that? Where does it end if we take the view that society owes some group special privileges.
So are you saying that everyone is totally and completely equal now, and need to not worry about being discriminated against at the job, in school, etc.?
