So, what about shade? Are blacks with very light skin accorded the same preferrential bonus as blacks with very dark skin? Or what about a person who is half Asian, half black - - do they cancel each other out?

O'Connor and the rest of the liberals on the United States Supreme Court are disgraceful, pandering, political whores.

That's what I considered. The "minorityness" of a certain applicant - how do you determine? It turns into a subjective mess. What happens if a "white" comes in and says "I'm 1/4 'black'". How many points does he/she get? How do they prove the person is really 1/4 "black"?

Exactly. 100% black is a rarity in America. Archeologists tell us we all came from Mother Africa, if so then we're ALL African, right? If we're ALL African then shouldn't it stand there be no AA? Oh, I know the AA initially meant perks for "people of color" (purple, green?) from the underprivileged American black ghetto experience but that hasn't held water for years. Sandra, AA should have been pronounced dead 25 years AGO. We've successfully dumbed down public schools to the lowest common denominator and as of Monday our universities have suffered the same fate. Admittance should be based solely on the student's will to succeed not on the happenstance of whom his great great great great great grandparent chose to sleep with one night.
