this. stanford and UCLA even ran a study on the failure that is affirmative action.

each school begins accepting students who are unqualified when they walk in the door, practically guaranteeing their failure.

and because minorities were unduly elevated, they took the seat of a white/asian kid who was more qualified, who now goes to a lower school, making the gaps between white/asian vs blacks/latinos at the mid and lower schools even bigger.

but because each school at each tier is trying to massively up their minority numbers, each tier down has to dip even further and further into the dregs. by the time you get to lower tier schools, they've dipped so far deeper into the dregs, the qualifications gap has become a chasm.

the white/asian kids don't even come to class and get straight As, while the blacks/latinos are struggling because they shouldn't have been in that school in the first place.

affirmative action has NEVER passed any meaningful means test in history, and has extensively failed means testing. it ALWAYS catches up... blacks receiving affirmative action have such drastically lower bar passage and medical boards passage than blacks who don't that the entire class would have been better off without affirmative action. in the actual means testing, the non-AA class would have only 10 blacks in 200 students and only 4 would pass the bar. the AA class would have have 30 blacks in 200 students and only 2 or 3 would pass the bar.
