Segregation in the South was still there into the 1960s. Effective segregation is still dramatic in Northern cities. I'd be happy to see whatever efforts are needed to equalize education opportunities etc. rather than giving affirmative action favors after the fact. The fact is though that stuff like the NSF just want to see that people from all groups are applying for grants rather than to give them any favor. This is also the appropriate action on equal opportunities for women. The key thing is that women are given an equal opportunity to apply for a job, rather than any favors when they apply. The playing field isn't entirely even with male networks promoting their candidates (actually fear of being sued for sexual harassment increases this factor) and sometimes deliberately trying to destroy the chances of female candidates (which I've seen).
