Ok, though it is interesting that you said "some black girl" rather than "a black girl my friend knows."

And if you think about it, someone personally knowing the person that was hired/accepted because of affirmative action is much rarer than someone assuming they weren't accepted because of it. Or maybe i'm annoyed with the people that assumed that I got accepted to UM because I was black rather than my high gpa or my high sat score

And why does everyone always bring up reparations at these topics? That has nothing to do with this at all.
yeah, i should have made that more clear in my initial post... and i know it is rare, but i'm just saying that whenever someone gets accepted due to affirmative action, someone else gets rejected because of it. and i agree, it has very little to do with reperations.
