Given how double standards have become so widely accepted, this should not be surprising. We have been told that quotas are not really quotas, that affirmative action is not really reverse racism and that women are qualified for combat roles. Racist jokes do not cease to be racist because of who tells the joke, yet in the minds of many this is exactly the case. It shows a certain degree of morality on the part of those who denounce racism while encouraging, by silence, racism.
