“It doesn’t help your self esteem to think you got in somewhere under special circumstances.”

Exactly…psychologists keep telling us that the key to success is getting a positive self-image, yet Affirmative Action sabotages minority achievement by putting an Affirmative Action asterisk next to their accomplishments. And gives racists a handy explanation for minorities’ success. Get rid of affirmative action, and all minority achievements will stand on their own merit, and racists will be without ammunition to attack their successes. Look long-term solution, not short-term white-guilt assuagation. (is that a word? Harryssecret, look that up in your Oxford dictionary–the one with laces on it?).
