It was non-segregated in the first place?!

Oh, and it's not "alive and well", as it says in the title.  It's now desegregated.

It's a sad example of people who refuse to let go of the past.

However, it has no relevance to anything outside of that area.

On the contrary.

I think the abomination that is affirmative action (a.k.a. racism) pretty much balances it out.

But do either of those make racism okay, just because it goes both ways?
Don't talk to me about the college admissions process, though... It's whacked through and through.

I'm not saying it's okay; I'm simply saying that it's not one-sided.

We really do need a colour-blind society.  I say a black man can represent a white man can represent a cherokee man can represent a chinese man can represent a middle-eastern man can represent a martian man...
