Problem is Mojo, that argument of white kids in there isn't true when one realizes the overwhelming majority are pretty much minorities.

As for affirmative action - its a must if done right. Now obviously there are many cases where its done right - and where its not done right as well.

Yes there IS still rampant racism in the world - if there was no such a thing as affirmative action or the like, then chances are, if a white employer say had a choice between a black and a white equally skilled or closely skilled, chances are, theres going to be a hiring of a white man. Its those marginal cases that get the need of a little changing around - the problems are those with overwhelming differences in skills where the bad side comes in IMO.
