Free lunch, low-income pays no incoming tax(47% and more of them), food stamps, disabled benefits, medicare medicaid, CHIP for kids, etc etc, I'm fine so far. But AA for college admission(and jobs too these days)? followed by SAT score manipulation? this is literally pushing me to the far right side, it makes me feel hard working, sacrificing for next generation made no sense, this is getting close to robbery. what's next for me as a middle class guy?!

not really, color-based AA admission is the true racist, I'm just emphasizing merit-based results no matter what your skin color is, the equalize-every-result is going way too far.
Do you know each year how many of those AA students dropped out? I am sure we will have a solution soon, that is each college will give adversity-GPA-for-college-degrees-by-skin-color, all must be good.
But I don't want to be treated by an AA doctor myself! The richest and the poorest are rare, let the majority students shine by hard working, that's the best gift we can give them instead of cut-in-line because their skin color difference, which is truly racism.
Last, we probably should look into NBA, too few white and Asian there, how racist they are!
