Leveraging Ethnicity

What do you think would happen if a bunch of white guys put together a website that advocated their "leveraging ethnicity" to greater advantage? Or went around giving speeches pushing this agenda?

Media and intellectual elites would rush to condemn this as racism of the worse sort, I imagine.

So, why is it different when other groups go out and speak of leveraging their ethnicity?

And how exactly does that promote the idea of a colorblind, meritocratic society?
