Right, but what I'm talking about is the idea that diversity adds something to a university. I really don't see how black people lacking some advantage enjoyed by whites would add anything overly valuable. Diversity to me would mean an array of ideas and backgrounds. I simply fail to see how raising the black population of a school from 6% to 10% would accomplish that. Sure, the additional black students may have different ideas and backgrounds, but so would the white people they're replacing. I'm not attempting to make this into an affirmative action debate, I just think our society's ideas about diversity are fairly skewed.
