@jerry Getting rid of affirmitive action was a good thing. If we want any policy it should be one where admissions are equal and fair to everyone based on merits and not race.

That isnt to say there isnt a racism issue, there is... affirmitive action was just always the wrong way to address it and needed to die for a long time now.

@freemo @jerry I always saw AA as the counter to racism. There's always a thumb on the scale, and this one assured some balance. Was always stupid to have to force it, but that doesn't take away the fact that it was a necessary policy.

I think we agree for sure that the **intent** was to counter racism, and in that sense it is noble. But in practice it basically says "Lets apply racist techniques in a way that benefits minorities and hurts others and then we are even"... using racist tactics to solve racism will never work.
