You are making an implicit assumption that groups should be treated equitably. Some of us disagree with that--we feel *individuals* should be treated equitably and see these attempts to treat groups equitably as treating individuals *inequitably*.

Why should my chance of getting into college be hampered by where my parents live or what color skin they gave me??

Aiding one person is inherently discriminating against another.

Why should theirs be hampered by the same?

It's all a hack job to try and work around the fact that we haven't yet figured out a good objective measurement. Things like SAT do the same in reverse, aid the wealthy students at the expense of the poor ones. It's not an easy problem.
