The hilarious thing is that your arguments are supported by people making exactly those arguments and in a position to suppress any contradiction.
The premise of Affirmative Action is that a difference in racial profile between a group of employees and the general public is always the result of bigotry in hiring.
In real life it is primarily the result of black students being denied an equal education because their teachers are obliged to maintain a "racial balance" in grade promotion-- so they ignore any trouble a black kid has and pass him, but actually pay some attention to white or Oriental kids. (I use the word "Oriental" because it is precise; the majority of people born in Asia are not Oriental. Mohandas Gandhi. Moshe Dayan. Me.)
