it is not legalized racism affirmative action. The situation you presented is false, because an 800 for example is not accepted in most colleges. Plus SATS scores ARE NOT major in some colleges. Plus in no real situation has both people done the exact same thing.

Affirmative action is not saying that a minority is too dumb to get in by themselves, it is saying that there are too many ignortant racist who are deans of colleges who wouldn't dare alet a person of color or a woman get in without being forced to let them in. And also if you didn't know affirmative action not only helps people with color but also females, veterans and disabled persons. You say affirmative action makes whites and asians and men work harder, that is a lie. There are a number of slots for the minorities and say in it they made it that 16 out of 100 reserved for minorities. That not fair?? that is less than a 1/4 reserved for minorites. That mean that we as minorities have to work HARDER to be one of those very few that make it into the slot.

Lets define racism:
The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.

Let define affirmative action:
Affirmative action programs seek to remedy past discrimination against women, minorities, and others by increasing the recruitment, promotion, retention, and on-the-job training opportunities in employment and by removing barriers to admission to educational institutions. Because of the long history of discrimination based on sex and race, most affirmative action programs have been directed towards improving employment and education opportunities for women and minorities.
