Silly question. No, you either are capable of making the grade or you are not. Affirmative action basically is set up to allow less qualified people to feel good about taking jobs from people who actually earned and are better qualified for a given position.
Affirmative action can not be applied to the 100m sprint because Time and Distance are fixed, and there is no way to alter the trial to anyones advantage.

Whites should only be able to get anything(scholarships for example) if they are a minority in a college. There shouldn't be a need for Af action in the 100m sprint though. I know you were just wondering,

No....the best man should win. If a white can't cut it so what? By the way...white guy here. If another race is better than me...that's the way it is. Either I get better or I sit on the bench! Affirmative action in any endeavor...I repeat....AFFIRMATIVE ACTION IN ANY ENDEAVOR.... is wrong.

Now, do you really think that throughout the athletic development programs from elementary school through to the Olympics, non-whites have too much privilege?
Please give an example of that, if so.l

No because affirmative action is descrimination be it black white red green.... if people want equality then act equal with not special rights.

NO.
We need at least ONE example of a meritocracy.
