There was always a contradiction in Affirmative Action, trying to fight racism by reifying race and employing racial preferences. Identity politics is a dead end. The real issue is class, not race, even though racism most definitely oppresses minorities. The identity politics solution is unconsciously also racist (understandable, since it is a solution born in a racist society). There has to be a better way to end racism without these predictable consequences that inflame and support it.
