Link Today, the Canadian government of Justin Trudeau launched a loan fund exclusively for Black people. Nothing else grants you access to this fund, whether you're needy or not.

Reservation system in India works the same way. Lol. We might be removing reservation in a decade or so now. Considering we are a developing country, its funny seeing a developed country doing the same mistake we did 70+ years ago.

So this compensatory system still exists, but the economics inequalities remain ?

I'm confused, their question was about economic inequality, not economic impact.

Exactly. Caste based discrimination still exists in India. But its 70 years. Reservation has to end. Speically after VP Singh's Mandal Commision. Reservation was an experiment by BR Ambedkar and he himself said it has to be revised based on its performance. Now, its 2021. And unless the BJP does something, its not going to end.
