We are talking about a % of a minority position since only ~38% of Americans have a bachelors degree or higher. How many people really care about this issue given that majority of people in the country don't even have/did not pursue a degree from one of these institutions that had affirmative action policies.

So we don't care about that because it's a minority, right?

Oh, the irony :)

No my point is that I think the average person is not prioritizing this issue because they cannot relate.

Which is another way of saying that the majority doesn't prioritise the issue because it only affects minority. Potato potato

There is only so much people can care about in their day to day. This mentality you are displaying ignores reality and will end up biting you one day when something you expect to happen does not come true because you're living your life on the internet too much.

So I'm living in a fantasy world and you don't because you're right and I'm wrong. Got it.

AA is not just in schools. But also many workplaces have, what amounts to, quotas for having %ages of specific ethnicities.

Also, even if it is only 40%ish that went for a bachelors or higher, most people know at least a few people who did.

And "why should we care if it affects a minority" seems quite the dangerous path to go down on.

The supreme court ruled on college admissions no? Correct me if I am wrong, did they also include workplace AA?

This is a big country so I find that kind of a stretch.

My point is that its an issue that I dont think the average person is really thinking about since they can't relate.
