"Do you think it is appropriate for a univerisity to give MORE weight to the race of an applicant as to the SAT score, or even as much?".
Do you know of any plan structured that way? Otherwise it is just a strawman argument.

In many admissions it is not a case of ranking SAT scores, it is finding the best match among qualified applicants.

I simply don't get the debate about affirmative action. Discrimination based on race is immoral. Affirmative action is a despicable act. The only definite fact about black or Hispanic students is their race, not their social circumstances. To say they are disadvantaged based on their race, is same as saying that they are genetically incapable of performing at the same level as whites. How offensive!
