209, revisited

I wrote a post a while back about my support of affirmative action and the post generated a lot of comments.

There is an excellent article in today's New York Times that profiles these issues at Berkeley. I believe the article presents a balanced view of the whole debate, especially the negative consequences of a UC system without affirmative action, as well as the people who are uncomfortable about the predominance of Asian Americans as a result of meritocracy.
