It doesn’t matter that the plan was scrapped. Affirmative Action in colleges admissions is alive and well. The colleges still do it. They just use different wording. Instead of calling it affirmative action, now they are only attempting to “diversify” the student body of the school. Absolutely nothing has changed other than terminology. It is still perfectly ok to discriminate against those students of racial backgrounds that the school deems there are too many of.

That’s right; now they use the phrase “life experience” (though I don’t know how they’ll deal with the rapidly increasing number of white males born to unmarried, drug-addicted mothers).
