I'm actually not a fan of quota's because they can lead to things like MattJ describes in the first part of his post (which is still only anecdotal evidence of a single incident), but as long as it isn't ingrained in our subconscious that we're all people of the same value, regardless of skin color or gender, crutches like this will be needed.
For the second part I would really like to see a citation, or what it was, that this student put on those flyers. Also having the right to free speech, doesn't make you immune to the consequences of it.

You speak as if its the 1960's still. It isn't Things change. Being white is becoming a burden the further we get into the future.
