Does anyone else think affirmative action is unfair?

I couldnt think of anywhere else to put this.
I am an Indian female who is not excelling like the people on CC, but this does not mean i am an average student either. i worked my ass off in high school to get the grades i wanted, straight A’s, As many AP classes as i could take, but i feel like if it came down to it, and college committees were comparing two students, Me and another student who is a minority, they would choose the minority over me. Does anybody else feel like this is a form of discrimination? IT’S 2013, racism is almost nonexistant. it’s very frustrating to know that i worked very hard for the grades i earned and someone may be chosen over me because of their race. I am probably the least racist, least judgmental person you will meet, so do not get me wrong. i’m as egalitarian as it gets, but this is my opinion. I WANT everyone to have opportunities. its just really frustrating in this process to know that my race has something to do with the admission acceptance rates
