<p>Paying any attention to race whatsoever will always, ALWAYS be unfair in my eyes.</p>
<p>Like supereagle10, I believe socioeconomic affirmative action should be the only form of affirmative action employed. Socioeconomic status is a real indicator of disadvantage (growing up in poorer neighborhoods, attending mediocre high schools, struggling to balance school and a job to help out your family, etc.) Race, however, is NOT. Sure, there is a correlation between race and disadvantage, but correlation is not causation. There are so many disadvantaged whites who don’t get the special attention from college admissions they deserve because they’re not a “minority.” </p>
<p>Racial affirmative action is nothing more than socially accepted rascism.</p>
