I remember a fund raiser for world hunger where when you came in the door you got a card.
The card said which table you got to use.
80% of the guests had to use the table where only brown rice and water was served.
15% got a table with a simple but decent meal.
5% had a huge table covered with roast pork, steaks, and baked goods.

I'm sure there are people who would say that is a vast over simplification of the worlds food problems.
I say the same about the bake sale.
It did nothing to account for all the people with their own ins (rich parents, alumni, sports skills) that give them a 'unfair' advantage over the rest of us. (maybe a dime for a half dozen for those folks)
The world is not based on who is the smartest and hardest working.
As long as that is the case, we need programs like affirmative action to balance things out.
Maybe one day it won't be needed but I don't think that day is today.
