is that I'm not receiving it. Applying for law school is stressful, both in choosing a school, and then looking at the financial costs of it, and it does make me very jealous when I see an URM with similar scores as me get into better schools and offered more money than me. I can agree with part of the premise, that it's an attempt to right the wrong of 200 years of slavery, but what I can't sign onto the justification that it's a response to current racism. Furthermore, many of the beneficiaries are middle-class through and through, in which case they haven't suffered economically. I mean, we all get hard knocks in life, and so I find the justification of AA for middle-class blacks to be exceedingly thin.
Of course, AA for legacies is probably worse (just look at Dubya). But inequity is not a reason to encourage more inequity.
