> Going to Yale is not the focus here

You can’t say this after claiming someone “admitted to Yale may have no other opportunities at the kind of life a Yale graduate might receive.” What evidence do we have that this is uniquely enabling for a person of one race and not another? Yes, it may be uniquely enabling for the affirmative action candidate. But that doesn’t rule out it being uniquely life changing for someone else.

> I'm beginning to wonder if you even see that as a bad thing

Shoddy form. (And self defeating.)
