Since we're dippingi into academic waters . . . where are the facts about whether the beneficiaries of "affirmative action" suffer the hardship of lower self esteem or stigmatization as a result. After you factor in the understanding that these minority groups already have sensitization to self esteem and stigmatization by society . . . shouldn't there be some research on this?

BTW, it seems that caucasian women were the biggest group benefiting from "affirmative action."
