- Remember though, that AA didn't appear by magic. There are historical
- reasons for its implementation. The white male power structure refused
- to incorporate minorities. Thus AA was an attempt to solve that. I think
- we all agree that it isn't perfect but what should replace it. If nothing
- replaces it, won't history repeat itself.
