It's fairly ironic that efforts to reduce discrimination have actually 
furthered it, only causing the explanation for the discrimination to 
shift.  It's no longer 'blacks are inferior because of their skin 
colour', but 'blacks are obviously inferior because if they weren't, 
there'd be no need to enact laws to protect them'.  Arguments of 'we 
should repeal such-and-such protection law because it's not needed any 
more' are dubious, since the discrimination would still be there.  It'd 
just find another excuse.
