what this might mean is a function of mobilizations, not numbers.
it's strange that this is a source of anxiety though.
i'm not sure this is an appropriate thread for an affirmative action debate---what i'll say at this point is that i entirely reject the "arguments" above against it. both share the assumption that somehow or another the history of the united states is not important in thinking about discrimination and what can and should be done about it. and both seem to be under the impression that somehow or another racism has gone away at the institutional level. i don't see any proof of that anywhere--not here, not in the 3-d world. i'm happy to run with this, but will leave it here for the moment.
