A classic case of "the real racists are the ones who mention race."

To address the real problems of continued systemic racism that existed from the founding of our country, we cannot simply put our race blinders on and pretend we're a post racial society.

You're ignoring that there are inherent racial advantages in admissions already.

It is morally offensive that, as a society, we've proven to be unwavering in our racism until we are forced to address it.

That's fine, but understand that race-based preferences are an attempt to even the score, not make things unfair. People who favor things like affirmative action would say that simply being born white gives you a racial advantage to getting into college, so if you think there shouldn't be any racial advantages, you need something like affirmative action.

You might disagree with that, but realize that the disagreement lies over what constitutes fairness, not whether racial advantages should be present at all.

This assumes that there is no advantage to diversity of race, in and of itself. I don't know if I can claim that there is an advantage, but I do think it is worth finding out.

It further assumes that there is not already a giant weighing of the system against certain races, absent this action. Something which is becoming increasingly easy to see as likely false.

And then it ignores that overall ideal that all people get education. With no barrier to entry.
