Category. Such as poor people, especially minority poor people. Such as how it's discriminatory to do things to them that lower that status further, such as AA.
Giving no one an advantage is giving some people a disadvantage when one group is in a worse state. A very similar case is gay rights... the only way to insure equality is to protect gays from being fired or harrassed like we do for religion, skin color, gender, etc. I know you'll disagree vehemently, but your attempts to make it look like "fact" that giving disadvantaged people some things that help them to try to attain equality (it doesn't make them equal, not yet, but in time it will) is actually giving them advantages over others which they should not have (a very flawed idea if you actually believe in true equality, as in that all groups should be represented equally -- something that will never happen because of the bad state of some groups (pn the whole) unless we give them help --)... absurd.
