If a prejudice exists, performance will quickly eradicate it. The issue is not "keeping a good man down" but rather "reserving some seats" for those that haven't been able to prove their worth through various performance proxies (test scores, NFL draft combine results, etc.)
At some point regardless of how many spots at Harvard you reserve for blacks, or NFL camp positions for Indian American defensive backs--there comes a point where it's simply time to perform. What we are seeing time and time again is that many times the candidates that were admitted through relaxed standards cannot compete at the level of the population as a whole. Wasn't a Georgetown Law professor punished for simply discussing that with a colleague?
We have to prioritize performance of key functions of our society (medical education, law enforcement) over the skin color of whatever individuals are performing those functions.
