Except this is not about enforcing opportunities for a certain group but to prevent a group certain privileges based on their skin color and sexual orientation.

Discrimination is not right because you think you have the right motives, the law is also very clear about this.

Doesn't federal contracting explicitly favor people on the basis of being female / minority / veteran? It always seems that the people who make the rules get to break the rules, so long as they can string together a plausible argument, which is a very low bar.
