Naw, that was not what i was trying to say - I wrote AA but I didn't mean it.
The universities don't have to take the direct (financial) responsibility for their admission decisions. It could decide in a racist way and still be in the same position as admiting only the best ones. So there needs to be some kind of supervising, that makes sure, the only the best students are choosen and in the case of same qualifications that not one color is prefered.

I don't think, the AA are needed at all - it's kinda racism the other way round, people are judged again upon their color.

Btw: Concerning the NBA it'd be interesting to see, how the ethnic groups are really represented, since the players are only a tiny little bit of the whole organization. That's what you (Skeptikos Examiner) ignored in your first post.
