And this is the problem. It is only perpetuating the fact that you used a crutch to get into medical school. People may not tell you that they think you got in because of AA but some will certainly think it. Do you want people subtly looking down on you? Or do you want an even playing field where the best of best get in?
Construction workers are like ~95% male, should we start programs that put a quota on how many females must be hired? Nail salon workers are ~95% female, should we put a quota on how many males must be hired? See how ridiculous that sounds? That is how I see AA.

Prejudice, discrimination, racism, call it what you want. It is still giving preference to people of one skin color and obstructing other ethnic groups from getting in with the same stats (Asians).
I don't bitch about the fact that 80% or whatever of NBA basketball players are black. And they make way more $$$ than any doctors. So whats with the blatant double standards?
See this is why this country is slowly going down the drain. It caters to people that yell the loudest and doesn't really cater to the ones that actually have something intelligent to say.
