What is this proving? She had the potential to be an Ivy League student even without affermative action. She was just honored more than othersbecuase she was a minority. The problem I have with ideologies like TBone has, is that people like Sotomayor and Obama etc. had to WORK for what they acheived,they had to do well in school and it paid off. But when there are people like our last president who had a C average in high school, goes to Yale and becomesPRESIDENT just becuase of his family is a problem. I think in a way AA is a good idea but how it is today I think it has done minorites bad (I'm black), AAovershadows all of the injustices that minorites still go through. AA in my eyes still puts minorites down because people make it seem like it helps eveysingle minority out (idk just my 2 cents)
