As for whether you prefer to deal with discrimination by avoidance, that's up to you. I don't see that being your personality though. Unless you're an internet persona.
You don't see what being my personality? If someone doesn't want to deal with me I move on. Whether their reasoning is because I am white or they think I smell or just plain don't like me.

Not sure what the internet persona BS is but I guess that is probably not worth getting into.

And it is not for the protection of the person being "discriminated" but for the simple fact that forcing people to do something doesn't seem like a good way of getting things done. i.e. They hire the black guy how well do you think he is going to be treated? How much opportunity is he going to get to succeed? It isn't protection but the simple fact that it seems like a crap way to operate and not a very appealing workplace for the person being hired.
