I'm sorry I find your comment incoherent. The current endemic discrimination is what results in unnecessary shitty bridges that kill people.



Assume all demographics produce the same distribution of bridge quality. Under the historical discrimination regime, we've been taking all the majority-designed bridges simply because they were majority-designed, including the bad ones. Obviously this is bad, and should be rectified.

Parent and I argue that automatically taking a minority-designed bridge is equally bad, because it's equally likely to lead to a faulty bridge. Bridges should be evaluated according to their quality/safety independent of who designed them.
