It's telling that, again and again, people can't simply point out issues with affirmative action without resorting to racial slurs.
Impossible to have adult conversations with these types of provocateurs.

Where is the adult conversation you claimed to want? We can talk about the reality that racial discrimination fuels racial tensions in general. That we have now reached a point in society where there are numerous mismatches in discrimination, in some places you are likely to be discriminated against if you're black, in some places you are likely to be discriminated against if you are white. The goal of ending racial discrimination was to end discrimination not just shift around the targets. It's unfortunate how people don't seem to realize that.
There is a place for a conversation on the merits of affirmative action, but this isn't that place.
The real problem is classism and economic diversity more than racial diversity now. Schools like Harvard are moderately diverse on race, but economically not at all.. something like 90% of kids come from families that are upper income.
If you are trying to raise all boats, then economic class is a better method since given the relative amount of people .. there are actually more poor white people than any other race, even if white people experience poverty at a relatively lower % rate.
This also avoids all the racial resentment / reverse racism issues.
So there's your adult conversation, but I don't think OP posting a link to a racist defacement of a website was looking for that.
I usually don't pay too much mind to trying to guess what the OP might want, rather the topic has been raised here so it's a good conversation to have.
