Not that I agree with how affirmative action is implemented but context is everything. I can also say killing is wrong so we shouldn't have wars or capitol punishment. I think affirmative action is ok only when the time and place a person attended school or looked for jobs has a provable history and policy that negatively affected people of their ethnicity. For example, if a white person grew up in an area where white kids are discriminated against historically and didn't get the same opportunities as others then that person should get an advantage later on to compensate for that. But blindly using race as a factor to give someome an advantage is something I disagree with. It is the lazy application of AA that is a problem, not the idea itself.
