That is why a remedy as simple as ignoring that discrimination for admissions purposes is valid. How is "discriminating against whites" the same as "ignoring that discrimination"? Your logic is totally convoluted.

TP, <blacks and hispanics are underrepresented because of a complex chain of discrimination and not because of their abilities.> Perhaps, but the real solution is to focus even more on the abilities and eliminate the discrimination. Affirmative action not only introduces a form of reverse discrimination, it also de-emphasizes the abilities even more, thereby unwittingly affirming the agenda of racists. Why give racists even more of a reason to push an "us vs. them" mentality? Tenchusatsu
