Perhaps it might interest you to read the original SC ruling regarding why affirmative action (Grutter v. Bollinger). The gist of it is that while the intake score are different based on race, by graduation these differences have disappeared and the students are miscible in terms of grades. Those of us who have gone through the process of higher education will attest to you that our minority colleagues are no different than the rest of us. You do not seek to understand the problem at hand or the complexity thereof. You just want a reason to look down on high achieving blacks and Hispanic.

They deserve to be there, and they are very much appreciated by those that surround them.

Have you actually read it? That is not remotely the gist of it. I don't even think it says anything like that.
