    Because potential employers doubt they are the real deal as far as a Harvard, etc. product is concerned.

    That's your opinion.

    I notice you fail to mention current wrongs.

    Tell you what; when you and your buddies stop doing all of your majority-on-minority racism; I'll be pro ending AF.

    It's a rational suspicion, and unfair to the ones who would have gotten in anyway. The bigotry of low expectations.

    Your mindset is why AA is still active.

    If you're looking at a resume from Harvard and know that Harvard blacks on average had test scores that are a standard deviation lower than Harvard Asians, of course if is going to affect your decision. You can't force people not to think.

    You're not getting into Harvard if you are a dumb or average student no matter your race.Racists like you are the reason AA exist.

    That's true, but it proves nothing. This is rarified intellectual territory, where a 98th percentile student could fall behind (although such schools tend not to flunk people out) because the people around him are more formidable.

    Average is 50th percentile. It has nothing to do with the issue.

    An example of the magnitude of AA discrimination:

    Harvard uses race at every stage of the admissions process. To begin, Harvard recruits high-school students differently based on race. App.154-56. African-American and Hispanic students with PSAT scores of 1100 and up are invited to apply to Harvard, but white and Asian-American students must score a 1350. JA.577:6-581:20; JA.3741.
