AA is a band-aid for cancer. It looks really cute and puts a smile on your face, but the cancer (racism) gets worse. If it were applied based on socio-economic background it would help those who truly need it. Take race out of the equation. Just because you are a minority doesn't mean you are poor and need a break to get somewhere. Why can't it just be for the poor? Why does it have to be all about race? There would be absolutely no problem if you made it about economics instead.
