My fundamental viewpoint is that affirmative action is a noble attempt to correct systemic injustice through introduced bias that is easily dismantled by racists. I think your average eugenicist WASP gives no fux how many asians there are at UC Berkeley; Stanford or MIT? Eh those have always been second-tier darkie schools anyway.

I think the problem is not that minorities are being denied entrance to elite schools, it's that schools that deny entrance to minorities can still be considered elite and I say that as the grandson of a Jew who was kicked out of Harvard.
