Is the 'unalienable fact' that racism exists in America today? or if you choose, the stronger "institutionalized racism is prevalent in American culture" can be used, it's really up to you.
Either way - how does Affirmative Action combat the latently racist culture propagated by the majority?
NOTE: it doesn't. It attacks ONE symptom, and poorly at that.
If you're going to break the problem down to the least common denominator, that's fine - but then you have to address the problem on that level as well, which is a monumental task to be sure - so we better get started.
