Affirmative Action in general misses the point. All it does is put the shoe on the other foot. True "fairness" would be discriminatory toward no one, but I think it is in the nature of people, all races, to take as much as they can and the devil take the hindmost.

Based on the Bakke decision, affirmative action is illegal. The US Supreme Court said that to use quotas of minorities in order to acheive diversity at a university was unconsitutional. However, in the two University of Michigan cases of 2003, the Supreme Court basicall reversed that decision, ruling for the Michigan law school by saying that race was an acceptable criterium for admission. This decision also goes against the Civil Rights Act of 1965, which guaranteed equal rights of all people, regardless of gender, ethnicity, age, and so on. Affirmative action is nothing but a case of people seeking "special rights", in that they need to be better than the average person in acheiving preference from government agencies and other groups.

No it's against the constitution as prejudice and discriminatory.
An obvious contradiction of the law for political gain.

I'm not sure, but I think I'm gearing towards against it
