It's a legitimate argument. While I think the kind of racial discrimination that exists in college admissions is pretty benign, it's still discrimination. And I think it's fair to ask whether preferences should be awarded to all applicants who are racial minorities, regardless of their socioeconomic stauts. The fact that an admissions committee will consider other facts apart from race doesn't end the discussion, because there will inevitably be cases in which race proves to be a decisive factor.
