It seems a bit disengenuous for the other affirmative graduates to lay claim to how well “they” have done as if affimative actions stopped at graduation.

It would seem that at the their time of graduation there were few black Yale candidates to from which corporate affirmative action programs to choose.

Agreed on all counts.  The cancer of affirmative action exists throughout Government and industry and is frequently cited in early retirements, job frustrations and related family problems.

I have known several police officers who simply got fed up and stopped taking the Sergeant's promotional exam because they kept being passed over by dramatically lower-scoring minority candidates.

There is something to that, but it was there before EEO, etc.
