It simply does it in a means more narrowly tailored to the compelling state interest of cultural diversity.

I'm puzzled by this term
compelling state interest of cultural diversity? What do those words really mean? Are there several subcultures in the USA that differ enough that the rest of the population needs to be made aware of them in the education process? I think not! I think that this nonsensical, illogical, term is a cover up for retaining the roots of affirmative action based on skin color or ethnicity. Perhaps someone here can enlighten me...how does having a negro or mexican indian sitting in ones math class instill cultural diversity in the math mix? If they are americans what do they have to offer that's culturally diverse? The argument is illogical and I'm suprised academe tries to provide such a transparent excuse for having its selfish way about retaining affirmative action.
We have long absorbed many cultures in this society and in the process the main aspects of those societies have been absorbed into a single culture..assimilated along with those populations.
The descendents of the black slave populations have lived in this culture for upwards of 250 years. Why do we now claim they have a different cultural base? Why do those we call the educational elites claim any native american should have preference based on a non existant cultural difference?
