Agree. A white person from a trailer park home and a black person from a government housing home are much more alike than a group of like-skinned people among each other.

I also notice the change in the reasoning of proponents of these measures. The issue affirmative action was to address originally was that a hiring manager might choose a candidate based on race, the goal being fairness. Today it's moved to 'righting the wrongs of the past.' The goal I don't know, but it's not fairness.
