But the best answer to that problem is to improve the public schools so minorities can leave high school on an equal footing with whites. True, but universities can make a difference, if public schools can't. We have programs designed to help disabled students and athletes. Affirmative action creates problems. It puts a stigma on minorities.
Some whites are resentful and look at all minorities in school as unqualified.
But that's not the fault of the minority students, so don't penalize them.
