Or, I am accepting them both as unacceptable from a policy standpoint, from a Constitutional standpoint.

Don't blame the Constitution for your beliefs. It is open enough that we can have the kind of society that we want. As shown by its history, the Constitution can support such diverse and contrary policies as slavery and affirmative action, depending on the era and its people; in significant part, what it stands for is up to us. You may accept invidious racism as acceptable, but it does not really have to be that way. It's not the Constitution's fault; that is on you.
