<<Those places in the University of Michigan were reserved for people who had suffered from discrimination.>> Incorrect. Actually, those places in the University of Michigan were reserved for people who had been presumed apriori by virtue of their skin pigment to have suffered from discrimination. But these applicants were never required to prove it. These applicants would have been born after the 1960s and 1970s when you say there was so much discrimination. So a U Mich applicant born in 1984 or 1982 was born into a much more accepting and diverse US society than his his father and mother. And yet a very rigid and extreme version of AA still is in place at the U of Mic. Society has changed much. And so, many AA programs have appropriately been ruled unconsititional in part or in whole by the Fed courts.
