As a Democrat, I disagree with affirmative action. Consider the obstacles students had to overcome, not race. Sure, a privileged White or Asian student may have a higher GPA, but is that really more impressive than a student who wasn't so fortunate in regards to having a stable home life and access to materials, attending well-funded schools, etc.? Probably not. Sure, such a plan may disproportionately benefit students of color, but any student may benefit of a system like this regardless of their ethnic background. And, unlike race, at least it is a relevant criterion as far as being a reliable predictor of future academic success and career potential.
