People mistake ALL race considerations as AA when some racial considerations may be diversity initiatives. Diversity initiatives seek to promote, on the front end, variety and difference in the marketplace. AA, however, seeks to dismantle-on the back end, an existing monolithic structure. The number one benefactor of AA has been the white female. The reason why schools hardly use gender as a factor is because the existing structure has, over the years, come to accept and embrace the white female in the marketplace (be it educationally or professionally). The same phenomenon has not occurred with respect to brown skinned people in this society. So, the Sup. Ct has stated (IMO) that it will no longer recognize AA as a means of dismantling this society's existing monolithic structure of racism.
