If that is the case, like I said, they have a discrimination suit on their hands. People are quick to blame "the system" than let their pride take the hit.
If you want to keep harping on the fact that white people are more qualified, well a) that's racism right there, and b) whites have better education opportunities than minorities, referencing back to that 90% which I mentioned in the above post.

Ugh... you seem to not realize this is a socioeconomic issue.
Not a racial issue.
You should of been taught this in your Race and Gender class.
It's common stuff for both Psych and Soc Race and Gender classes.
That's not even an issue. Affirmitive Action is supposed to make up for past racism. Not current racism.
PAST RACISM IS CURRENT RACISM!!
It's supposed to treat the fact that black people are poorer on average... which hurts education on average... this hurts their chances to get jobs on average, which hurts the perception of affrican americans, which keeps education lower.
What are you talking about!?! How does AA hurt education??????
None of this has to do with racism at all. Except for past racism.
Past racism and history is the reason why people are racist today!

Past racism is not current racism.
The effects of Past racism linger on today but that does not make todays problems due to current racism.
By trying to make up for it with restitution you only prolong the problems of today.
Affirmitive Action does hurt education... but not the point I was making. The point I was making was that the problems African Americans suffer has nothing to do with present racial differences and everything to do with current economic and cultural differnces.
Lets say your family and my family are having a competition to see who could make the most sand castles.
So... our grandparents start the competion.
Your Grandparents have a shovel and bucket.
It's illegal for my grandparents to have a shovel and bucket.... Your Grandpa gets a big lead.
Our Fathers start... my Father is now aloud to own a bucket. No shovel though. He goes and buys it. Your father takes advantage.
Now we go. We're both equal at this point in tools. You have a huge head start in sandcastles.
My problems with your lead has nothing to do with current racism.
