@Cleisthenes it seems annoying, but it's a logical result of the way the culture has been shaped.

What is really annoying is that most of the steps were very hard to stop when taken one by one. Like the forced bussing of white kids - that was one of the best chances to stop it, because "hey, why are you making things harder for these kids" .. but that's also how willing white people were to try and make things better for other people.
