The story was of a white girl trying to get into law school. She had straight A's, tons of extra curricular activities, etc - the model student. She didn't get in and when she started researching admission came across this data from a professor.
If being non-white is so
heavily weighted, how could admissions not be biased? If being non-white gives one a huge advantage in likelyhood of being admitted, how could they not admit less qualified applicants. The policies speak for themselves.

The workforce and college population is probably 80% white
Last I checked the population of the United States was 80% white, big suprise that the workplace and universities reflect the population.

So you're saying a segment of the population that represents 12% should be 50% of the workforce? Everyone loves to point their fingers at the rich (an extreme minority ~ 1%) when they get benefits because of their status. Isn't this the same concept.
I believe that giving people an automatic advantage because of their race or religion is wrong. That in my mind is inequality, and affirmative action is not right by those standards.
