There are people who are not racist and don't deny racism who disagree with the concept of practicing discrimination against one group to alleviate discrimination against another group. Especially when the first group is not guilty of gender or racial discrimination. It's making the sons pay for the sins of the fathers.
It would probably be better for all concerned if the admissions folks had no idea what race and gender the candidates are. Our ultimate goal is to end sexism and racism in our society and I believe AA will do more harm than good.
