As I noted earlier, what is still seen now are things like institutional biases in standardized college admission tests, institutional biases in lending policies and practices, personal biases and prejudices adversely influencing corporate hiring practices, etc.
When they are eliminated, we will be closer to eliminating the need for AA policies (or something comparable by another name) to account for those biases that continue to favor those in positions of dominance.

Where we do agree is on the issue of financing the K-12 public education system.
Financing based primarily on local property taxes gives the kids from affluent communities a leg up by any measure or standard.
