That could work when the population was 33,000 or 330,000...not with 330,000,000!
We have "inequality" because the the people are "unequal". The "minorities" just aren't up to snuff. Trying to incorporate them into society has destroyed a once great nation. We've lowered everything so much, we're now in the middle, not top of world rankings. When you encourage the dregs, you don't end up on top. It's "our" own fault, we believed the lie of equality.
