Should Affirmative Action be outlawed?

I want to hear what others say before I comment

Ok I am going to repeat myself.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.

Precisely. Unfortunately, I think this country needs to resort to affirmative action because as she said, there are many racists who are not willing to hire or accept someone of minority to college unless they are forced.

I understand everyone's arguments and how it should be "fair" or equal opportunity for everyone. But discrimination does exist in the college admissions process and employment hiring practices. This is the only way they can think of thus far to promote diversity in college institutions and workplaces.

Also, keep in mind that society has been unfair to minorities for centuries. Affirmative action can help repay the wrongs that have been done to minorities in the past.

-edit-
I revised the following sentence.

But racism does exist in the college admissions process and employment hiring practices.

I meant to say discrimination. My bad.
