I'm talking about present day, not about someone's forefathers. Today people are separated and judged based on their skin color and their preferred sexual partners. If it wasn't right 100 years ago, I don't see how it is OK now.

They are being separated by beinng accepted into the same school? Where they all earned their spot. They are judged on their merits, not their color. They are categorized in the sheet by their skin in order to circumvent bias, by reserving slots for all races. Why is it wrong that white people get a dedicated slot in a college as well as people of color?

It isnt, you're just mad that most college applicants are white and have the highest enrollment rate. So competition is actually competitive, rather than just being accepted over the black ones.

Make your own history though.
