<p>There are an awful lot ofabsolutes being used in this, discussion (cough flamewar cough).
There is not racism against blacks
Blacks never complain about things that arent actually racist
etc etc</p>
<p>It is much more likely that there is some racism against black people, and other minorities, but that sometimes whites people are wrongfuly accused of racism.
Personally I am opposed to Affirmative action. I think it would be more fair if it was directed towards socioeconomic level than race. Thats really why there are less of some races in Universities, because some races tend to be of a lower socioeconomic class, and thus have poorer education etc. This would prevent the situation where two middle class high school kids esentially equal in qualification for university are differentiated by the colour of their skin.</p>
<p>Does being opposed to AA make me a racist. Not conciously atleast. More than likely I am just jealous becuase it seems to me that african americans can get into Ivy league colleges with SAT scores 300 lower than mine, and that I wish I could be guaranteed entrance with the score I have, as I would if I was black. Does jealousy of percieved unfairness make me racist. Maybe AA really is justified but I happen to live in one of the best cities in North America which has a relatively low level of poverty, and thus I do not observe Minorities who really need AA. Does my jealousy and limitted perspective make me a racist?</p>
