We were waiting for their reaction and our two professors did not disappoint. I honestly think the topic of Affirmative Action is subjective because I feel that there are many blacks who are not aware of it works. I also think there are people who just go along with the group who favors it because it's the black thing to do.
Glenn has a good point about those legacy admissions. If your family has been donating to the university for generations, they would like a return on their investment. Admitting my grandson can be seen as fulfiling a financial quota. But violating the Constitutional rights of one racial group to favor another group is a whole other ball game.
That Roland Fryer idea about development is the right thing to do. If enough people actually cared about the development of blacks, they would follow that formula of building schools and programs to prepare kids who would like to enter and compete at those major universities.
