When I think of affirmative action, I think of something like a minority getting a scholarship based on the fact that they're a minority. That seems silly. But then I believe it's schools' right to offer whatever "kind" of scholarships they want.
Hmmm, I can't think of other examples. Maybe it's because it is 339 am and my pb&j is rumbling in my tummy. Could you give some more examples?

It's not just schools though. Why in the world would a business care what race you are when you fill out an application for employment?

Right, right. It should be nothing but "the best man (or woman) for the job," no matter their race. But how do we regulate something like that? Isn't it just up to the businesses? It seems like that would fall to the states' courts. Hmmm, that's a tough one to solve.

The left wants to have people categorized by race. If not, they can't have an excuse for bad behavior or utilize it as a way to gain in the political realm. They want minorities to continue to be the "victim" so the left can continue to use the victimization of minorities as a way to gain political power. How many elections have you seen one side portrayed as "hating" minorities? The left utilizes this and promises minorities the "moon" and once in power gives them the shaft.
