Yesterday they made higher education less accessible to non-whites, today they made it harder for the poor...
I wonder if there's a pattern here.
Yes, higher education is now less accessible to non-whites. Which is good, because affirmative action was never a fair solution to the issue and was simply unfair in principle imo. We shouldn't raise the eligibility of people based on their race, college admissions and race should have nothing to do with one another. Class-based affirmative action actually makes sense instead of deciding off race.
I agree with you in theory, but striking down AA without a better solution in place is bad. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.
Fair enough, I agree that in reality removing AA and not implementing a better system in it's place will only lead to worse outcomes.
