Racial profiling has resulted in prison color ratios that are seriously out of sync with the general population. Doing away with profiling will bring parity to the pen (or would, if justice were really blind).
Racial preference moves student ratios closer to general population proportions. Doing away with preference will perpetuate the effects of centuries of discrimination. And since grade point averages and standardized tests are culturally biased, color-blind admission lets less-qualified whites into the lecture hall while more-qualified people of color are left out on the street, where they have a greater chance of being picked up by the police.
