Discriminating against people on the grounds of race is illegal. This should work for all races. Obviously if someone has been discriminated against then they should pursue their case through the courts. However, 'positive' discrimination is a step too far.

Balance what? Discrimination on the grounds of race is already illegal. This is as far as legal protection/interference should go.
