The real issue with the current environment is it fails to acknowledge what history has proven over and over again: you can't fix an injustice with another injustice.
The only path to equality is one where people are truly treated equally. This generation cannot be forced to pay for the wrongs of the past, or future minorities will be forced to pay for the wrongs of current minorities. Lather, rinse, repeat.
As an Anglo-Saxon male, I face several layers of codified discrimination when looking for full-time employment. I'm not talking about unconscious bias and whatnot, I mean codified racial discrimination policies targeting me on the books. I've seen a UK government body hire a non-resident non-citizen over a local white on purely racial grounds. The system is rigged against us.
There is a solution - start your own business. When working as a contractor colleagues openly agitated to get founders fired purely on the basis of them being white and male, but as they owned enough shares of their business they were safe. Start a business, keep your shares, master your destiny. We built the modern global economy one brick at a time, and we can do it again.
Recrimination never works. You are just creating another group of people that are working and waiting to tear down your systems and sacred cows. Bad news for corporations. Bad news for society. Bad news for people who just want to work hard and take care of their families.

Eventually they will have to hire some white guys to get the work done
