I agree with this. Granted, I may not have a total grasp of the AA concept so this may be off but... what if an African American from a wealthy, educated family is applying to a college and has the same grades as a Caucasian who grew up on welfare living in public housing and only one could be admitted? It doesn't seem right that the African American should be the one who is admitted if the goal of AA is to give someone the opportunity to overcome their disadvantages. Does that make sense?
