Here's an example.
A young white woman was applying at a college (dont remember the name...it was a well known college though). She had excellent grades (straight A student)...yet she was rejected...why? Because she was white and the college wanted to fill the 'minority' requirement set on them by Affirmitive Action. This girl did sue...but I don't remember if I heard of the outcome or not.
Now..I am not against helping minorities 'make the grade'...but if they can't score high enough to get into college without the standards being lowered for them, then they shouldn't be allowed in...just like the whites.
