    Yes, higher education is now less accessible to non-whites. Which is good, because affirmative action was never a fair solution to the issue and was simply unfair in principle imo. We shouldn’t raise the eligibility of people based on their race, college admissions and race should have nothing to do with one another. Class-based affirmative action actually makes sense instead of deciding off race.

      We have class based affirmative action. Rich people buy their kids into school all the time.

      I agree with you in theory, but striking down AA without a better solution in place is bad. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.
