        That's diversity, not affirmative action.

        One is the consequence of the other. America needs both.

        Totally disagree. Affirmative action does not = diversity. Diversity is a byproduct but def not the best way to achieve it.

        Should public Division 1 colleges basketball/football programs have affirmative action for athletic scholarships for whites now?

        1st your numbers are wrong. Afr Americans are 25-30% D1 all Athletic scholarships, but makeup 14% of US population.
