The author feels as if legacy admissions offer the same sort of unfair merit as affirmative action. .
Mack, Raymond W. "Whose Affirmative Action?" Society 33.3 (1996) : 41.
This article focused on the history of affirmative action, as well as the future and current practices of affirmative action in the United States. The author took the stand of affirmative action today is a somewhat farce idea from that which came from the original Civil Rights Act of 1964. If we want to promote equality, than there are two ways we can do so. We can first try to only honor people on their merit rather than race, or we should use affirmative action to help social classes rather than certain races. .

In this article Skrentny uses demographic statistics to point out flaws in the current affirmative action structuring. The article contains stats to try to establish who the minority groups in America are. The article produces stats which show that African Americans are no longer the minorities, with Latinos and Asians now being the minorities of America. Skrentny continues on to say that the racial groups are constantly growing and changing and the only way to be fair with affirmative action is to target and aid economic classes.
