Oh, regarding a point that Benny has made a number of times (on socioeconomic vs. race-based policies), here's a good study that addresses this issue:
Can Socioeconomic Status Substitute for Race in Affirmative Action College Admissions Policies? Evidence From a Simulation Model
The overall conclusion is that both types of affirmative actions may be necessary to balance out the playing field for both racial minorities and for low-income groups, which is contradictory to what Benny has been arguing.
