There is now a scientific, statistical study that shows the deletarious effects of racial prefernces on black law students.
"The 35-year-old debate about affirmative action in university admissions has often focused on whether the supposed benefits to black and Hispanic students justify the costs to whites and Asians who lose out, and the resulting racial divisions and resentments.
Lately, some critics of racial preferences (including me) have also speculated that many of the supposed beneficiaries might be better off without preferences. They are so much less qualified academically than their white and Asian classmates, this argument goes, that they end up near the bottom of their classes and drop out in disproportionate numbers."
Affrimative action and racial quotas (an extremely un-PC term) could never make any logical sense. How can you end racial discrimination by choosing people according to their ethnicity? In the words of Jake LaMotta in Raging Bull, "It defeats its own purpose." It would be analagous to ending the servitude of blacks by enslaving whites.
