20% isn't so bad; the way it's usually portrayed in the media it sounds more like 90% of posts require such statements
If a college allocated a minimum of 20% of their jobs to whites, would you still say it wasn't too bad?
These are statements, not quotas. Basically these are statements where you note that you support teaching all kids, will make efforts to be inclusive and ensure your class has an inclusive environment, etc…
There is no requirement on the race of the applicants.

If we'd enslaved whites and then turned them second class citizens with minimal rights and very few economic opportunities until fairly recently, putting them in conditions that make it very difficult for them to achieve equal opportunity, then yeah, I wouldn't have a problem with it.
