Thank you for writing about Affirmative Action. I think there are a lot of people who really don't understand its purpose, as can be seen by the 2016 case. I really wanted to pull out my hair that so many people didn't get it.
I hope that enough people will read this and get a better idea. I remember a lot of people being upset about Affirmative Action during my undergraduate studies, and I really didn't understand their POV. Then again, we had a president who actively discouraged minorities from applying to our state school. Yeah, we called for his resignation, and he was ousted before I graduated. But that was still the 90s. Sad things haven't changed all these years later.
Sorry, I totally babbled.
Again, thank you for writing about this. A very compelling take on the prompt.
