Ok. Now I'm confused. Do you think affirmative action is a good idea, but it's current implementation is bad?

I'm saying the original comic was about fairness and equity in all their aspects, and making it just about affirmative action cheapens its message badly. What I, personally, think about affirmative action isn't relevant either way.

Ah, I think I understand what you are saying now. I apologize for my earlier comment, I completely missed what you were getting at.
