Then let me ask you this,if a person has ancestors that were never victims of the "stacked deck" such as immigrants and they happen to be of a race as defined by the government which had been victimized,should they benefit from these reparations?

How about european immigrants that just arrived in the US within the last decade,should native minorities have better opportunities than them?

And what exactly is race? Ancestry? National origin? Consider this list: north african arab,turk,spanish, white skinned mexican,brown skinned egyptian,light skinned indian,albanian and south african with european ancestry. Lets say these people and their families immigrated to the US in the late 80's and had children immediately,their children will be treated very differently from each other. Which race are they? The south african is white but the mexican is not so white?

The law has no business defining race or using this social construct for systemic inequalities. This breeds so much strife,resentment and division and is not sustainable.

When you benefit one group, if you in the process benefit and harm other groups unfairly you're only shuffling around inequality. I believe the end result is even more unfairness and injustice to even more groups of people.
