The US at the very least has the concept of protected classes and it doesn't have to do with inheritance. It's meant for good reasons but never updated to reflect the changes in laws and policy that have been passed

Aren't those protected classes just people with low incomes or in difficult situations? If you classify people by race and then create "protected" classes you are assuming that certain races are going to do better than others

""Fun"" fact: If you quoted more of this speech, you'd have to expect being banned or flagged for using the "second-worst 'n-word'". Apart from that: For nearly ten years, people have been judged on SO for the content of their (not character, but) answers. Suddenly, people started claiming that this was not the case, and that's when this whole thing started blowing up. It's a pity.
