What you consider an "unfair advantage" I would consider "a natural result" of whom my parents and ancestors were, and where they settled and raised their kids.

I don't think I nor anybody else needs to be punished for our nation's slave history, considering our ancestors came here after slavery was abolished and none of us even LIVED NEAR a slave or slave descendant, much less owned and mistreated one.
