We also believe in diversity and equal rights, but we don't believe in affirmative action. I believe in performance above all other things like gender or color of skin.
If you are talking about the "affirmative action" in college admissions, you should know the legacy admissions and athletes are more than the so-called affirmative action related admissions. Also they play one minority group (Blacks and Hispanics) against another (Asian Americans) while leaving the white admissions largely alone.

Although I am also in more favor of performance over color of skins, I also believe in the importance of social mobility. When the elite colleges admit socially disadvantaged students at full ride, I am all for it and affirmative action plays a large part in it.
