<p>I am only arguing that that system 1) isnt used anymore and 2) had kickbacks for Caucasians too. The funny thing about Affirmative Action is that it is different from discrimination in a sort. You can actuall physically see discrimination happen- you cant necessarily see Affirmative Action (as many people have claimed). You can look at osmeone and say he has probably been discriminated before because he's black but you cant look at someone and say he's here because of affirmative action. You will never really know. Its something thats subtle and far from systematic.</p>
<p>I would think that the rich white kid would have an edge over the underrepresented black kid in some cases. I'm not that big of a proponent of AA, but I think that white people have no right to try and judge a successful person and say, "hey I wonder if AA helped them along the way." Just as much as you say that, I wonder, "who's your daddy and how much does he make."</p>
