Kevin,

It is hard to imagine how a child who lives in the slums, has an addict for a parent, has to risk his life to go to the library to get online, has to risk his life to simply go outside his home, has no moral support or encouragement to do well in school,and has to get a job to help feed his siblings can possibly NOT be given a little extra help in getting a chance at a higher education. His or her B average shows a greater level of character then the A average child who had every advantage. Getting into the school doesn't assure success. IT just gives them an opportunity to help themselves. Colin Powell and Clarence THomas are two examples of AA but I don't believe it has to be limited to blacks. Any race should be able to qualify if they come from an underprivileged family or area.
