I care about this topic because I don't want to be discriminated based on my race or gender.

It is a zero sum game. Companies will require the same head count regardless of its racial/gender composition.

At best, companies right now are lowering the bar on who they give interviews to when an under represented minority is involved (who ends up being upper middle class and privileged anyway, just like how AA works). Organizations are also providing resources and networking that I do not have access to.

On average, I suspect that some companies actually discriminate based on race/gender against white/asian/indian males when comparing interview performance with minorities.

At worst, the equal opportunity act is abolished and corporate affirmative action is allowed. This sound crazy but colleges are still able to discriminate based on race/gender so it's not that far fetched.
