See my comment below for a sort-of definition of affirmative action. Short answer: outreach is not AA, "special consideration" is.
And outreach is an ethical method of combating institutional racism; others are, of course, needed. But the lack of an equal alternative does not make affirmative action any LESS unethical, of its own merit.
