Question

Hello Advocate,

First let me start by saying that I am a FIRM believer in affirmative action, and that this country is far from having a level playing field.

My question is, however:

If affirmative action was created to ensure that minorities who met basic requirements received spots in programs, why are there programs that lower the requirements for minorities and give affirmative action as the reason.

It is this type of unequalness that many people are upset about (excluding myself). I have heard many rashionales behind this, but I never really knew the facts.

Can anyone help me on this.
