Is that really equality?
If we were striving for actual equality across all races and genders and law that seperates them, whether its a benefit or not, should be removed. What if a man is more qualified/suited for a job than a woman but they HAD to give it to the woman by law? Thats not equality. Same goes for race.
I like to use the example of the movie "White Chicks". If two funny white guys made a movie called "Black Chicks" where they portayed big sassy black women there would be an uproar. This is a major problem IMO.

Without special interest groups supporting women, minorities, the gay community, the good old boys club of rich white dudes just continues to ensure that other rich white dudes get everything.
There is still massive inequality between men and women and white people and people of color, even with these groups to help them. The groups are misguided sometimes, of course, but without them it would be a whole lot worse.
There's a whole huge difference between blackface and whiteface.
But then white people arguing how to fix racism is generally a really incredibly futile idea.
