17. it is probably the least we can do
reverse discrimination is a white male fantasy. affirmative action does not effectively address the wrongs of racism.

diverse student body? huh? in case anyone has not noticed, this country has a diverse student body - from elementary school on up. unless you mean college. where did all that diversity go???

the cost of discrimination cannot be lessened. those who pay the price are the victims of discrimination.

i am absolutely 100% in support of affirmative action. saying it is "the least we can do" only means that there is so much more we need to do. the playing field needs to be evened across the board.
