<p>I agree!!! the only thing that aa does is highlight racial tensions. if our goal is to be unconscious of race, then aa is only making us more race-conscious. and as long as it goes on, it will probably cause some white people to feel angry/bitter towards african americans or whoever (for not getting into college, etc) even if it's not justified. i think that if colleges want diversity, they should look at our essays, personalities, interests, and beliefs more carefully so that the student body can be truly diverse, not just in skin color. And of course socioeconomic status is important.</p>
