Replying here because I think unusualmusic will also get notification from upthread:

I'm not so naive to think that affirmative action has done no good. I think it has done a great deal of good. But I consider the means of doing that good unethical. And with regard to employment, I don't think any one program is the sole cause of an effect. That's too simple an answer--and hence why I think the Focus on Affirmative Action site is overly biased, as it implies that all/most of society's gains in diversification are due to AA.
