Yeah, you can still find rednecks and bigots in the U.S. but there aren’t nearly as many today as there was back then. I think that now minorities have more then they ever have had before, they are equal in everything. Granted, I think that what happened a long time ago with slavery and even later than that with all the discrimination against minorities was horrible. But there is no connection to a kid today and those horrible things. Maybe there parents were discriminated against, ok, but what right does that give them to take a spot in a college that they didn’t earn, or are not as qualified to have. A kid with a 2.0 GPA does not have the right to take the place of a kid with a 3.4 GPA just because he is black and his ancestors were slaves. If the situation was reversed and the white kid had a 2.0 they wouldn’t even look at his application. I believe that affirmative action is wrong and should be abolished. I think that on all college applications there shouldn’t even be a section that asks you your race or nationality.
