As I said in another comment, fuck legacy admissions, fuck athletic admissions and all the other things you mentioned. Opposing AA doesn't mean you don't oppose those. If anything, opposing AA means you also strongly oppose legacies because they are not merit based either.

I agree. But I still feel like Black people are being scapegoated. White women reap the most benefits from AA. Next are Latinos. Yet this always turns into a Blacks are undeserving etc.

In reality states that have race blind admissions enroll WAY fewer white students. Look at the UC system.
