Do you really think that steering (a pretty neutral action) is a right analogy to an action that is inherently hurting people? The problem here is that you try to compensate injustice done to some people by doing injustice to others.
> to an action that is inherently hurting people?
Which action is that? The original biases which has been hurting people for hundreds of years or the current attempt at bias correction which has been around for, let's say, 5 years?

No. What's happening here is that people are trying to balance the scales by helping up the lower pan and the people on the higher pan are bleating about this "injustice".
But only one of those camps is actually correct.

Not even slightly.
Yes, currently. I spoke about long term effects of using discrimination to fight discrimination.
To clarify, then, is the "Right now" part of this wrong?
"Right now both of the camps will be able to say that they are discriminated by the other one."
