The article says that 74% think that "Race or ethnicity" "Shouldn’t Be Considered" in college admissions. This implies that at least 74% don't support "affirmative action", which must be based on considering race or ethnicity. Actually, if the poll results are to be believed, opposition to affirmative action must be higher than 74%, since presumably some of the 26% who want to take race or ethnicity into consideration are white supremacists who want to exclude blacks.
So your comment is baffling. Best I can do to make sense of it is that you think a lot of people who support affirmative action lied when responding to the question?
