Here are my problems with Affirmative Action.
1. Academic Mismatch - Those who benefited from AA often can't keep up. They often fall behind or transfer to an easier major.
2. Cascading Academic Mismatch - This mismatch is replicated everywhere because the top academic tier recruits the top 'racial balancing' students from the tier below it.
3. Academic Mismatch Semiotics - This mismatch encourages judging people by their race on campus. It breeds racial conflict(no matter how low level it may be) and reduces solidarity between peoples on campus.
Racial balancing and academic standards are at odds with each other. Schools that value racial diversity should set their academic standards appropriately.
