I'm not saying there isn't a case to be made against AA, but your arguments are just very one dimensional and lacking much substance or depth. Like, I didn't know it was possible to be so ostentatious yet so clueless at the same time.
Qualified minority candidates have been discriminated against for decades and continue to be because THERE ARE INHERENT SYSTEM BIASES that exist in all levels of education and society.
The reality is that America has always had a racial hierarchy with white males at the top. This society has always passed laws and given attention to issue that interest them, while they dilute the issues of subordinate/minority races. Our country may have dealt with racism but America still has racism no matter how many laws the government puts out there.
It is a fact that most minorities do not receive the best high school educations in the US compared to white students. It does not make the minority student less deserving, less persevering or intelligent college applicants it means the OPPORTUNITIES were not present for that student.
If you would take off your bigoted blinders for just a moment you might realize that it benefits us ALL to help pull people of lower classes up as they are much less likely to be a burden on society if we help empower the.m
And your arguments are little more than vague generalizations based on assumptions, hypotheticals, and outdated reality. I'm all for pulling people from lower classes up but not at the expense of some white/male who gets bumped by a less qualified minority/woman solely because of affirmative action quotas. But, of course, anyone who doesn't fall in with your liberal-think is a "bigot."
