For or against?
I'm against affirmative action. It's simply not fair to deny entry to a college to someone with an astronomical gpa so that someone with a 2.0 gpa can get in just because of their skin color. Racism, pure and simple. |

Against ...
But just as a note, affirmative action will ALWAYS exist ... even if it isn't race-based affirmative action, humans themselves have a tendency to sympathsize with the poor. In this sense, the poor will always have a leg up in college admissions. Especially since colleges admit based on many subjective criteria that are often more important than GPA and SAT, such as your personality and character, essays, etc., it is literally impossible to stop income-based affirmative action. |
