Here’s another Ann Coulter piece that is very instructive. It’s one of those “turnabout” arguments, where an attempt is made to show that the prevailing conventional wisdom on a particular topic is in fact completely upside-down. I recall a local Atlanta radio talk show host of the liberal persuasion try to make the case that political correctness came from the conservatives (ignoring, conveniently, that it began in liberal academia). That case couldn’t be made, but in Coulter’s piece, she has history and statistics on her side as she shows that it’s more the Democrats that have been reluctant about removing racism. Further, all the liberal pundits that equate alumni or sports preferences in university admission with race preferences conveniently ignore how we fought a Civil War partially over race issues, or that the Supreme Court has said that the “equal protection” clause in the constitution does apply to race (not athletic ability or musical talent), or that a (Republican) president had to force a (Democrat) governor to allow integration in schools.

It’s a great history review for those who’ve forgotten it.
