Either you endorse making demographic facts part of admissions to aim at some kind of social justice target, or don't. An disturbingly large fraction of people who discuss this are hypocrites or willful idiots who can't or who refuse to see the conflict. The people who implemented affirmative action in the 60's/70's were not; They were just swinging around a crude tool to try to redress very obvious and profound institutional ills by forcing a bunch of known bigots to act as if they were not bigots. "Discrimination" originates in a neutral term.
