How is that different from legacy? If you are using AA you are just using any type of help you can by getting your foot in the door right? It's the same thing one is based on race the other is based upon what somebody else in your family not you yourself acheived.

If you can find someway to get ahead then do it. Society now a days is all about who you know and what position they hold and they could care less if you are qualified enough to get in by yourself. I have seen where a person who is a complete moron but knows someone high up that is able to get a job/school over someone who is smart as hell but doesnt know anyone. It sux I know but its life.

And evening the field for minorities is now life and reality in this country but that doesn't make it right. If something is an injustice it's not right that we as progressive thinking people simply sit back and say "well that's the reality of the situation so tough tits."
