Annette Robertson claims in her column (“Reverse discrimination,” Oct.3) that Affirmative Action is a racist policy. Yet, if she had looked up the history of Affirmative Action, she would know that it was instituted to help end racial discrimination. A little research would tell her that white students of higher education are in the majority, and whether she wants to admit it or not, this is a racist country. So please, spare me another privileged person crying “Reverse discrimination!” It doesn’t exist. Now, I agree that the University should take into consideration socio-economic diversity, however I do not understand why Robertson believes we should impliment this at the cost of racial diversity. Diversity comes in all forms and we should embrace all of it.
