WI still uses it. Hell, they got busted for photoshopping a photo of a black student in the crowd who never was there just to prove they are all represented.
In any case, race should not be a factor at all. Plain straight merrit. The policy should be "We take the top 1000 students and the rest will be rejected, no buts, ands or ifs." Now, if that is not a level playing field, I don't know what is.
Here is a question. As a minority, how am I to know if I earned that job, got into kollege or whatever by my own merrits or whether I was shoved in the back door? As a White man, how do I know that the person I am working with was actually the most qualified person? How am I to respect him and his achievements?
Also, as a patient, how do I know that doctor that is treating me is qualified because he passed thru the gauntlet? IOW, how do I know he is the best person to work on me? Why shouldn't I choose a white surgeon who had to work thru the legal discrimination as opposed to someone who was given a shove thru the back door?
