...much as you possibly can. If you grew up in the ghetto, but would make a great trial attorney, it's about letting you achieve that. If you're a VP, but you'd make a great CEO, it's about letting you achieve that.

AA is about not holding anybody back due to irrational subsidies to whiteness or manhood.

It's not just about class. It's about spreading wealth to those willing to work to earn it regardless of class.

I feel every bit as strongly about fighting classism and about giving poor people opportunities as I fee about giving women and minorities chances, but I don't ask for a one size fits all solution to all these issues.

You don't use gender as a proxy to address religious discrimatioin. You don't use nationality as a proxy to address disability discrimination. You don't use sexuatlity as a proxy to address disability discrimation. I don't know why anyone would think that it makes sense to use class as a proxy to address race discrimination.
