Is racial preference to be blamed?

I recently read an editorial on USA Today from Stuart Taylor Jr. and Richard Sander, called "Opposing view: 'Racial balancing' ignores inequalities". I can see why the editors lean towards ruling for Abigail Fisher but her reasons for suing are completely wrong for so many reasons. Fisher is basing her issue with racial reasons instead of looking at it for what it is.

The editors know that diversity is great significance but disagree on what they think universities base their admissions on. The article states, "colleges and universities should not cast aside other values by using very large racial preferences in an obsessive pursuit of racial head-count." They're stating that racial is the only factor. Then they continue to declare there's an inconsistency by favoring children of wealthy black and Hispanic professionals over many Asian and white students who don't have money and are better suitable. Now it's not only a racial issue but also a money issue. Actually money should be the reason for the lawsuit NOT race. The fact that universities and colleges prefer kids with wealthy parents over students that come from a low income family. That is the REAL problem. Insinuating that race is a factor and trying to give proof on how these kids are falling behind, low grades and failing the bar exam more than white students is just immature.Yes it is an injustice that the universities lean towards money. State it as it is and don't point fingers at the easiest thing to blame, the minorities.

There solution is to require racial interest be no more than the interest for working-class and low income kids. That is just plain stupid. How about making the solution for wealthy students be no more than low income students? That would be definitely be such a better solution, once again instead of race being the problem. There is a lot of white, black, Hispanic student BUT the same applies to low income students. Wouldn't this be a much better balance?

Many people might agree with this editorial, they feel that there was an injustice not allowing the white student admission to the university. If she was black or Hispanic, would it be such a big issue? So that is my opinion in regards to this article. Yes maybe it was a very unfair for the University of Texas to deny admission to Abigail Fisher of race as she states. But as we now know race is not the fallout. Being wealthy or not is the fallout and that should be the main reason for her lawsuit.
