How can you universalize a preferential program?

[ClearCase_guy]

All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.

Universalize a preferential program by making everyone equally preferred. Can anyone argue against it? Do we WANT to proclaim some "more equal than others"? It's what we've been doing, and it is wrong on its face.

Play their game. I am not taking away YOUR preference. I just don't think we should punish anyone by denying it to them, too.

Voila! Affirmative Action is gone because, now, everyone has the same preference!

Give whites some preference too - as currently it is legal to discriminate only against whites, particularly white males.
