The problem with AA, in addition to what's already been brought up, is that it doesn't take into account that even white people have experienced discrimination...for decades Jews were barred from colleges, law and med schools. There is plenty of discrimination against other whites- for instance, those of Italian descent like myself. How many Italian-American lawyers are there- or better yet, what percentage of Italian-Americans finish college and go onto grad school? Very few. Yet for some reason, we are not considered underrepresented. Muslims and Arabs face discrimination to this day- but are they considered URMs? No. By the way, the majority of those under the poverty line in America are WHITE. But because the afformentioned groups have not banded together and demanded to be paid back for the crap thrown in their face, they're still considered "undiverse" and not entitled to anything.
