[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think Affirmative Action is done. It's way too imperfect. Aside from the Asian American discrimination issue, wealthy and privileged African American and Latino students are getting a lot of the Affirmative Action spots. Is it really doing what it's intended to do anymore? Moving to class-based AA makes more sense now, and honestly would help ease racial tensions.[/quote] +1. Class based would be more beneficial, and would more likely accomplish what the Elite schools are after---finding those kids who will really benefit from the elite education because it totally changes their circumstances. 70%+ of the time it will still be about race, because statistics do not lie, and over 50% of low income families are hispanic and black. So half the "low income students" will likely not be White. [/quote]
