Incidentally, the use of quotas to give minorities a break has a far more pernicious effect (at least from my perspective).

I was admitted to several top notch law schools. I was admitted to those schools on the strentgh of my LSAT's, my college grades and the depth and quality of my extra-curricular activities.

Yet, I have always had to fight the attitude that I got in because my status as a Hispanic.

It is a never ending battle. No matter what my achievements might be, there is always that yahoo that likes to believe that my name (not Hussein) got me admitted to law school.

Maybe in your case...

But the idea that people are being admitted just on race is a fact. White isn't the right color as far as Affirmative Action is concerned.

Just the term, "affirmative action" is an oxymoron!

They may get in, but they don't graduate. The number of minorities that are admited to my school is quite high, but the number that actualy stay 4 years and get a degree is really low.

While it may get you in, if you don't belong you won't stay.

I personally know many "minorities" whose grades and test scores were high enough to get into school w/o the assistance of affirmative action.

I think that there should be some sort of affirmative action to help disadvantaged kids, regardless of race, get into college. There are a lot of disadvantaged white kids who could use the help.
