Is there more? Latinos are ineligible? What about mixed race? What percentage black is "black?" What about Africans? Who gets hurt by the preferences -- Caucasians or Asians (like Harvard)?

Very good piece on a difficult topic. I think the historical lens is critical when evaluating affirmative action so I can understand limiting racial prefs to African & Native Americans. But how do we systematically & fairly determine whether someone is Black/Native?
-
Much like we now do. It's not perfect.
-
fair enough. and the two tracks would be completely distinct? IOW, kids of Robert Smith, Michael Jordan, Barack Obama will all receive prefs?
-
The tracks would be cumulative. And yes, they absolutely would.

Should Black and Native Americans be eligible, under your scheme, if their families are wealthy and they had an elite secondary education?
-
How is this two track system fundamentally different from what we have now? It might strengthen support for the Poor, I guess, but otherwise is status quo. No?

So, for example, Mexicans would be able to get the AA benefits to the extent they're ethnically Aztec or Mayan? But white Spanish Mexicans wouldn't get it? Is that basically what you have in mind?
-
Ok, so you mean "Native American" means derived from a tribe that was historically within the current territorial boundaries of the United States?
