I'm pretty shocked by the lack of empathy here.

Do any of these people railing against affirmative action really think that Native/African/Hispanic Americans should be locked in a self-reinforcing cycle of declining educational and economic outcomes?

Maybe going to your second choice school is an ok tradeoff for trying to raise and entire segment of society from relative poverty and discrimination.

Then it should be based on poverty, not race. The people that didn’t deserve to get in to those top tier schools can make just as much money after graduating from a “lesser” school.
