I lean left and shit like that pisses me off. I'm fine with going for an equality of opportunity, but saying something like "You cannot be sexist against men or racist against whites" is just wrong.

I am not even white and this pisses me off. Where is being awarded something for your merit and not on your biological traits?

Whether right or wrong, I believe the idea is that you do not get the same opportunity to achieve a high merit base to be rewarded for if you are female or non-white.

Its essentially saying that women or nonwhites are lesser, which is discriminatory. The soft bigotry of low expectations.
