Two things stood out to me in that discussion.

When they were asked the direct question, Clift and Bernard tried to divert the attention away from the question by stating;

Yeah, I mean, I think lots of factors go into diversity.

and

Here’s a question I have. One of the things I always say because I think you can measure diversity in a lot of ways,

.

It's as if they know that what they are arguing is wrong and that the vast majority of the American people will disagree with them so instead of defending their position, they try to say that what they are proposing is not racism.

As far a Buchanan's statement about Whites being the only group that can be legally discriminated against, you have to read it very carefully and understand the the most important word is LEGALLY. Of course it's also a good idea if you understand the actual meaning of the word discrimination. One of which is;

to make a difference in treatment or favor on a basis other than individual merit

Discrimination based on race is pretty much illegal in every facet of American life. Does racial discrimination occur? Of course it does, but it is still illegal. Murder is illegal as well yet we have many murders in this country every year. Affirmative action is discrimination based on race and it is used to favor Blacks and Hispanics and against Whites.

Buchanan does miss one point however. For the purposes of affirmative action in college admissions, Asians are, for some supposedly unknown reason (wink, wink), are grouped with whites. So it is legal to discriminate against Whites and Asians in the United States of America but not against any other racial group.
