We all benefit when the most qualified people become lawyers. There will still be plenty of minority law students without affirmative action. Measure qualifications any way you want, just not by race or if your daddy went to the school. Minorities will know they were the most qualified, and rich kids will know they got in on their own, not by riding Daddy's coat tails. What do you all think? |

But you have to understand that the legacies of affirmative actions are not just the beneficiaries of it today, but also the conditions that still make it necessary today. end all the legacies and all will be fair.
but that isn't likely to be the case: we have a president who is the biggest beneficiary of the oldest form of AA and a supreme court judge, Mr Thomas.
Besides the assumption that minorites are underqualified has to die as well. Part of the reason AA exists is that minorites and women--qualified or otherwise--were denied access.
