Because racism is not curable by these means (it may not be curable at all)...all that we can hope for is to make it such that in a world with racism present, the effects of that racism can be ameliorated to some extent or another. This is what affirmative action does. It doesn't change a racists mind...or your mind, about how black people are lazy takers benefiting from reverse racism that targets whites..and other honorary wedge whites, lol. You and they both are clearly going to think that regardless.
It does mean, though, that in the face of racists and other assorted undesirables like yourself, they can still succeed. That's the added value, and the fact that you don't see value in that is a you problem, not a problem for affirmative action. Your privilege is showing. What you mean to ask, what you don't see..is the value to you.
The "highest acceptance rate in harvard, by a fair margin"...for reference, amounts to their record high enrollment of a whopping 10-12% (which is laughably about the same as it's been even though they do have affirmative action policies). So, gratz on ratcheting the disingenuity and cynicism of this thread up a fair few points.
