Racial quotas are a big deal. Think of how many blacks would be in the better colleges, without quotas. Then there’s the impact on government positions. Without quotas, the post office, police departments, fire stations, et al, would be far less black, because the mulligans they get to compensate for lower civil service test scores would disappear.

Racial quotas are a critical part of maintaining the illusions 1) of economic assimilation by blacks, and 2) that this multi-ethnic country can function.

This applies to gender quotas as well; despite dangling carrots in front of every female, they can’t get the into STEM fields in “acceptable” numbers. Now they’ve even corrupted it into “STEAM” - adding “arts” - so some of the funds can be diverted to “students” who can’t read or do math.

Any preferred minority (racial or gender) has to prove themselves before I ever assume they aren’t simple PC window-dressing - and I pity the people in those categories that advance by their own merits (since they are still suspect initially due to the policies).
