That whole reverse racism, positive discrimination thing has always felt like an engineering approach to a social problem. Like power factor correction or active noise reduction, let's create an equal and opposite racism to counteract the existing racism and the two will cancel each other out.

That's an interesting idea, I like the comparison.

I suspect humans are too fiddly / it's too crude a mechanism, but I'm no poli-sci major!

I suppose it's just two competing racism sources, which is better than a single one but only if you 'squint right'.
