As an URM AA myself, I have to admit that it does bug me just a bit when ever I hear minorities approach the situation the way the original poster has.

Why even go into the situation expecting to be given the benefit of being a minority? It only reiterates this idea that those who are interested in higher achievement are doing so with the idea that they can actually underachieve.

That said, I still firmly believe in AA.
