You mean that those whom the government designates as "white" and "Asian" will resent less those whom the government designates as "Black" for receiving privileges and opportunities which do not align with this nation's credo of "equality"?
Equality is illogical. This is the byproduct of a form of government which relies on majoritarian consensus as validation for policy.
And yeah, it does help that I am also damn good at my job.
I'm not in agreement with your comment on Hispanics. Hispanics can be classified as a separate race from Whites. They're generally browner and have other phenotypic traits. Clearly, there is a lot more admixture within that group, and the divisions can become tricky, but people's self-identification reflects their race pretty much 100% of the time, so it's not a big deal.
I don't agree with your concluding paragraph. I don't think eliminating AA will end racial tensions. HBD related issues and race-based politics will always cause racial problems.Also, the "American way of life" is created by certain genetics of certain races, so if you want that way of life, you need those certain races.

It just vaguely means where they come from was run by the Spanish empire for a while. Central and South Americans are quite distinct- But a large percentage of those peoples are mixed race, which isn’t really its own racial group

I’m talking about one the average site goer would get behind. My point is that groups would be more or less getting along and not going out of their way to foster anti-White hatred if there was no economic and power incentive to do so and the government actually had the will to tell people: America is better than where you came from. Assimilate or leave
Well for starters, Hispanics can be brown (and are mostly brown). I don't think White people can ever be brown (except maybe a crazy fringe case scenario). Hispanics usually only have dark features, whereas White people are far more diverse.Secondly, if you line up a bunch of Hispanics, mixed race and Whites, you'll be able to point out the races most of the time, even when you get some admixtured people:
When Blacks complain about differences in hiring and university admissions, they're looking to get special privileges for Blacks -- it's about collective bargaining. It doesn't matter whether the story is true or not. That's why feminists still go on about the wage gap, that's why Native Americans still complain about mass genocide of their own, and it's why Blacks complain about underrepresentation -- it gets them benefits and free stuff.It's presence of having differing racial groups that causes the issues. Affirmative action is just one way of many that this racial collective bargaining manifests.
The only feasible way to lessen the race problem is: eliminate affirmative action and reduce immigration.

I can definitely point out a Hispanic from a White. It might not be utterly meaningless, but it is close to it.
White is a meaningful classification, particularly in America, because of all the interbreeding. Same with blacks, which is why they supposedly deserve a capital B.And white is still meaningful, yet to a lesser degree, in Europe. But they often think in nationalist terms rather than racial ones, not in a small part due to their relatively non-mixed heritage.
But Hispanic just really means brown. There isn’t even the shared history that Europeans can claim. Argentinians have nothing in common with Mexicans, yet they are thrown into the same category. Hispanic is too broad to be meaningful. Just like African, without distinguishing North African and sub-Saharan African.

Affirmative action is just one way of many that this racial collective bargaining manifests.Obviously the presence of different groups leads to a desire to extract benefit for them. But that’s not the point. Barring a “two state solution” or mass deportation of any non-white, I don’t see how you could fix that problem.
We have to work with the situation we are in. That means outlawing the practice of them extracting benefits for their groups on racial grounds. There is far less incentive to racially demonize whites just for the sheer joy of it, if there is no associated financial benefit.The only feasible way to lessen the race problem is: eliminate affirmative action and reduce immigration
Nationalism extended from genetic traits and caters to them (originally evolving from smaller tribes). So, when these European countries (or really any normal country) is thinking in terms of what is best for the nation, they're thinking in terms of what is best for people genetically similar to me.These racial categories are always meaningful because they are a colloquial recognition of everything that extends from those shared genetics, too (i.e. ideas, culture etc.)
No, Hispanic means all the other phenotypic traits, too. Also, Argentinians run similar governments, have similar I.Q etc. to Mexicans. Yes, they're not completely the same, but it's meaningful enough to be distinguished from White, African and Asian racial groups. That's why the Hispanic racial group is recognized in the first place -- it's meaningful enough to be consistently used
I think a more-than-two-state solution might actually be the solution, as a kind of pan-separatism, but that's a separate thread topic.
I believe America is too far gone. There's too undesirables already inside, draining the taxpayer's money, making walking down the street a chore, spiking crime rates etc. Their genetics are the problem, not the law or rules.
There's no fairness where a 0 in your bank account means no healthcare and no education and no chance.
I don’t actually know if poor people would have more than average debt or not. There are federal subsidies for low income students, and lots of colleges offer scholarships/grants. Some can be pretty generous:
