    Affirmative action is only silly if you don’t accept that systemic racism exists.

    Just because AA isn’t “silly” doesn’t mean it’s a correct policy

    Most of AA “positives” can be achieved with income-based criteria, more seats in courses and the unachievable better base education and home environment

      AA was meant to cause division not solve issues. Which becomes obvious when you realize having income-based criteria would help everyone that needed it, not just some black people that do and some that don’t.
