The way I see it, the point of affirmative action is to give qualified minorities a chance--in other words, in case of a tie, the minority gets the job/admittance into college. When the requirements are lowered for those in the minority, it gives the appearance that it's the best that they can do, which simply is not true. To me, the bigger problem is the idea that getting a good education is only for white people, which is what Bill Cosby has been fighting against lately. The opportunities are there now, they just have to be grasped.
