As defined in the Oxford Concise dictionary: believing in or based on the principle that all people are equal and deserve equal rights and opportunities.
Egalitarians are opposed to governments giving special race-based privileges to ANY racial or ethnic group.
Currently all levels of government combine to give a plethora of race-based privileges to people of Indian ancestry - tax-free status, race-based hiring quotas, special hunting and fishing privileges, a monopoly on casino-gambling revenue, and special lenient sentences when convicted of a crime.
Anyone who supports the current apartheid type of special race-based privileges is a racist! Plain and simple.
Anyone who supports eliminating special race-based privileges for Indians (integrating them into society as equal participants with the same rights and responsiblities as anyone else) is an Egalitarian.
So what are you? A Racist or an Egalitarian?
Remember this undisputable fact: "It is not possible to discriminate in favour of someone on the basis of their race without simultaneously and unfairly discriminating against someone else" - Dr. Jim Pankiw
