Discriminating against people because of the colour of their skin is nothing but racism.

Just because you're doing it against the indigenous population does not make it acceptable or desirable - quite the opposite. All forms of racism, including 'positive' discrimination/affirmative action (which are oxymorons of the highest order) are despicable and should be opposed.
