Completely agree, but I think the dirty secret is that affirmative action and its supporters have no intent to help the poor, not anymore at least. It's current intended use is as a weapon to wage class warfare. Create and support plebian race-based factions and pit them against one another so they can't fight the elites.

It's an archaic but convenient leftover from another time.

So pretty much the opposite of class warfare?

Class warfare would be warfare between classes. What you're describing is racial warfare intentionally engineered to avoid class warfare.

I think the implication is that it's race warfare is a tool used by the "ruling" class to wage class warfare on the poor.
