>Affirmative action is only found in countries with a history of wide spread systemic racism. You can't be a PoC in a society with a history of systemic racism and not be a victim of that racism, that is what systemic means, it permeates every aspect of society.

Wow, that's a pretty strong statement. What if you're an African Princess on a student visa? What if you're Malia Obama?

>Do you accept that, theoretically, if a black person existed in a profoundly racist society then you cannot treat the black and white student as being equal and affirmative action programs are not racist but are instead merely attempting to tackle the effects of that systemic racism?

No. Did you forgo reading the OP with the definition of racism? Or are you intentionally using an alternative definition of racism without stating the difference?

>Given how ridiculously broad that claim is I would suspect that isn't what which ever study you are thinking of actually showed. Can you present the study.

Here. Why would it work? If I take a student in an academic math class and put him in AP, is he going to learn more?
