Affirmative action at the university level is like taking a guy who is getting lapped in a race, teleporting him to the finish line and then sayin he won the race. He knows he didn’t earn it, and the guy who didn’t come in first because the other guy teleported to the finish line feels robbed. A much better solution as you point out is to make sure everyone has access to adequate training from the get go so that everyone has the opportunity to compete on a relatively level playing field, and then let people be sorted by merit.
