<p>Again, the original point of AA was not just for economic mobility, but also for social and cultural integration. That being said, I dont know where you get the assumption that it is only middle and upper class minority students who benefit from this program. Even if that is true (which I dont believe it is), colleges are still seeking to help integrate minorities into American society. Thus, there could be only minority millionaires who attend college, and AA the purpose of AA would still be getting served, as long as those who are in the colleges are better integrated with their White counterparts. People who are quick to say that AA is failing need to realize that the purpose of this program was not just to make minorities economically equal with whites, because if it were, schools would make it known that minority students whose families have an income of X or below would get admissions preference.</p>
