IF it was a problem for the playing field to be slanted towards whites (and only CERTAIN whites at that ), then it is a problem to be slanted towards minorities.

It does no good to slant the playing field against today's whites to make up for the fact that the playing field was slanted towards people with vaguely the same skin color as their parents.
