In other words, do we judge people as individuals or do we operate on the group assumption that any difference between races is cultural and any difference in performance must be due to a bad dose of negative culture, so to compensate we give each race a quota in each area of human endeavor?

You went exactly to where my thoughts were at. We, as conservatives, see human beings as individuals with equal rights under the law. Socially, it's very important to treat every individual on their own merits and not as a predetermined indentity with a group. The identity politics of the left and its use for racial quotas or racial guilt and victimhood is no different than the "racism" it purports to correct.
