In addition, it has been explained that racial balance in admissions is NOT affirmative action.[/quote]

That was something that people could believe before discovery in the Harvard case, now different sets of standards based on race are public record. Maybe that one girl was qualified, but hispanics are as a whole admitted to Harvard (the only elite school we have verified, non-manipulated data from) shows that hispanic applicants are held to a lesser standard than white or asian applicants.

Post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy.  The fact you present does not disprove the statement "racial balance in admissions is NOT affirmative action" at all.

The fact that there are fewer higher performing students of certain races absolutely indicates systemic injustice and imbalance in our society; but college admissions processes are not designed that way because of that fact, even if the result would be the same if they were.[/quote]

dress it up however you want to, people are accepted over more qualified candidates based on the color of their skin (or in this case, the willingness to check a box) [/quote]
