Another thing, sort of along the lines of you second point, Affirmative Action hurts those who it allegedly benefits: 1) Mismatch - these kids are promoted into classrooms for which they are not prepared and the professor pitches the lecture at the deservedly prepared students 2) Imagine a black doctor who would have made it through med school WITHOUT affirmative action. Many (most?) people will assume he isn't as good as Change or Nguyen or Bukowski or Cohen or Patel.
