If affirmative action is bad, because it's giving a handful of people a chance to get an education they'd normally be denied...
Then isn't legacy admission a horrific thing? Isn't buying your way into a school a terrible thing? Because if someone can go to a school just because their parent did, or grandparent... or they can simply buy admission... then isn't that taking away the opportunity from countless people who would otherwise have EARNED those spots?
It's funny, because whenever someone brings up the idea of doing away with all of that, making legacies and paid access invalid, so that only those with the best grades get to attend... suddenly all the rich white folks get up in arms about it. Claiming that's unfair, and would hold them back. Isn't that simply admitting that the ONLY reason they're in the school is because they know someone or had the money to buy their way in, rather than actually being smart enough to attend?
If affirmative action is giving some people an advantage, why not make it purely based on academics? Oh, that's right, because all those hard working minorities have better grades, and that would flip things around where white people would be DEMANTING affirmative action to allow them access to higher education.
