I don't see how anyone could be for race based discrimination.
If we are going to make up for systematic oppression of the past, why not do so far earlier in a person's life instead of waiting til college?
I think it's fairer to help minority mothers with day care help or schooling assistance for their children and even out the playing field there rather than discriminating at the college level to even the playing field.
I just don't see how more discrimination is the answer to past discrimination against minorities. Especially when it's discrimination against one set of minorities to make up for the discrimination against another set of minorities in the past.
