CMV: Affirmative Action is Racist and should be Illegal

Definition of affirmative action: 
the policy of favoring members of a disadvantaged group.

Definition of racism: 
Discrimination or prejudice based on race.

Affirmative action is discriminating against the majority. Race/gender/culture shouldn't even be a factor in hiring and it should just be based off of skill. If all races are equal then why are we treating some worse than others. There shouldn't be any preference for race when hiring employees.

I find all the counter arguments unconvincing. How is being racist to one group/race helping get rid of racism? If anything, losing a potential job position to someone who's less qualified just because they fit into a minority group would make people angry and that minority group would be discriminated against more. 

Affirmative action is racist in structure and promotes more racism.

Let's take an extreme case. Suppose there are two people. They both successfully made a line-following robot. One of them used a Lego robotics kit and the help of their parents, who are engineers. The other used spare parts: motors, an LED, a photo-diode, an old PIC microprocessor, a breadboard, etc., and didn't have anyone helping them.

Do you think it would make sense to favor the second person over the first, even if your normal metric for success is how cool a robot final product the person made?
