So this is my theory why affirmative action is bad (please tell me if my thinking is misguided)
Asians are subjected to much stricter admissions guidelines, so the asian population in med school is smarter
Blacks are subjected to LESS strict admisions guidelines, so the black population in med schools is less smart.
Because, as a result of the affirmative action, blacks will be less intelligent than asians.
This causes more blacks to be at the lower end of the class, and Asians to be at the higher end.
In other words, affirmative action PERPETUATED the stereotypes.
--------------------
You can't just say "We want more blacks, so we'll admit more and ignore the lower grades" because this "short-circuits" the whole process.
To get TRUE equality, I think colleges need to focus on INCREASING minority GPAs through FREE TUTORING and things like that.
Its like, if there are two people Xiou and Jamal, and Xiou has an infection and Jamal has cancer, but then the doctor says "oh well we can't have any more black people dying, so I'm going to ignore his cancer and diagnose BOTH of them as infections for EQUALITY!" It's just insane. You can't just redefine something without any basis.
***This is what i truly believe. I truly want some discussions here. Is affirmative action actually perpetuating racial stereotypes by maintaining the differences in qualifications between races?
