Of course, all of this is in a perfect world - a world that I probably spend too much time in, as opposed to reality. And you've definitely got me stumped with the issue of all the inequality.
In the end, I think my being Asian affects my opinion more than I'd like. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I've either read or seen somewhere that AA puts a limit on the percentage of minority races admitted into any given college. I've never been able to verify the legitimacy of that statement, but if it is true, then that is probably the basis for my belief that AA ends up excluding certain races (and by that I mean my race, and I'm trying not to make it all about me, me, me, but it's not working).
God, I wish I could edit these posts. (And seriously, "verify the legitimacy of that statement"? I have no idea where that came from.)
