What I was addressing was how he/she/it said that affirmative action is state sponsored racism, with nothing else behind it.
I believe it follows fairly self-evidently from the definition of affirmative action that it is state-sponsored racism. That's what "preferential treatment of groups seeking to redress discrimination (read: minority races, like blacks and hispanics)" means. Preferential treatment for some is discrimination for others.

I find it interesting that I am coming under fire, instead of the person who assumed her opinion was the only necessary word on the subject.
My apologies. But the point seemed self-evident to me, and I was interested in your reasoning for denying it. Plus, I'm not on your side Sorry, but that's the way it works.
