I don't think the question was in bad faith. I don't understand why it would be seen that way. Many people view affirmative action as racist. I could even imagine there existing a proponent of affirmative action who says, "Yes, I concede it's racist, but it's racist for the sake of helping the downtrodden, not racist for the sake of hurting the downtrodden, so it's OK." So if people want to argue against affirmative action, they probably need to say why it's bad specifically, not just that it's racist.
