i also like AA in theory. and i think at one time it was definatly necessary. but in today's society, it's outdated. i think it should be changed to socio-economic status rather than race. i'm sorry, but if my kid, wheni have a kid, doesn't get into his choice of school because a "underrepresented minority" that went to a good high school took a spot he could have taken but didn't get because of AA, then i'd be livid. a poor white kid has a lot more in common, especially when it comes to academic difficulties, witha poor blackkid then a rich black kid has with a poorblack kid. as it is, my best friend is an indian (dots, not feathers) and thus is not considered an "underrepresented" minority and AA doesn't do anything for him. which i think i a crock. either all minorities should benefit or none. yay selective racism!!!
