There are some drawbacks to AA, but there wouldn't even be AA if the "good old boy" network wasn't still the major player in most hiring situations. I think those who are against it are the ones who don't understand just what it feels like to be constantly discriminated against. Not just at the job interview, or not getting into your first choice of colleges, but at the store, walking down the street, driving your car...
You complain over one instance where you might get discriminated against, what about all the rest of the time? You don't feel it then, do you? If you're white, then the answer is most likely no.
