No, I favour stopping discrimination and acting to correct its
effect (without further discrimination). Your long jump from that
to "you favour the law of the jungle" is as logical as claiming
I like pasta because the sky is blue. Do not invent my views.

Arguing in favour of so-called "positive discrimination" is just
another case of ignoring present crimes by past-persecuted people.
We have to learn from the past and overcome mistakes, not relive it
with everyone swapping places each iteration in a vicious circle.
