Just to summarize my position at this point.
(1) The purpose of AA is to equalize the socioeconomic status of different groups in society, primarily racial minorities but also women.
(2) The purpose of AA has never been to eliminate racism or sexism, nor is it even capable of doing so.
(3) Racism and sexism will never be eliminated from human society.
(4) AA is a form of government legitimized racism and sexism.
(5) A non-racist and non-sexist response to inequities in socioeconomic status is more just and fair than the reverse.
(6) One such response would be a race and gender-neutral AA based solely on socioeconomic status, coupled with more aggressive enforcement of anti-discrimination law.
