Which brings us back to dough...
AA should not be a race issue at all. If it were strictly a class issue, it would not be so screwed up. It should have zero to do with race, my friends. Why should race even be a factor? No valid reason at all...
If you are poor, and from a bad school that did not afford you the same opportunities that your peers from the 'burbs, you do deserve somewhat of a break.
That said, only if you were near the top of your class, an achiever, etc.
Why does race even come into it? It offends the people it tries to help. I would be very offended if someone told me they were going to give me extra help b/c I have German blood runnin' through my veins. But if I came from a shotty school, I would feel as though I deserved the help that was given to the rich kids all along.
