When seeing any criticism of affrimative action many people will automatically assume it has some kind of basis in racism. Even though this article is being reported by Fox the professor being quoted is actually trying to produce a better result. His basic argument, if I dont get it wrong, is that affirmative action puts students in schools that are more difficult and competitive than they are qualified to attend but if they went to another law school they might be more likely to succeed.
The first obvious attack on this is that the professor is implying that black students are too stupid to attend the best law schools. I am prepaired to give this professor the benefit of the doubt and point out he is probably intending to say that those students propelled by affirmative action tend to be mismatched with the schools they get into.
