Blacks get in with the same scores as whites. They don't graduate or pass the bar as much, even though they have similar grades. My point is those who do are fine (e.g. no reason to fear going to a black doctor). What AA does accomplish is MORE black doctors, lawyers, etc., all perfectly qualified. Key quotes: On the contrary, black grades were the same or somewhat better than those of whites with similar Academic Index scores. Concerning graduation and the bar, equal black and white skills resulted in much lower black rates. black students, whatever the disadvantages of attending "more elite schools," did not "end up with lower law school grades" than whites with similar Index scores. That these black students, nevertheless, had lower bar passage rates than their counterparts cannot be explained by "lower black grades," since their grades were not lower than the grades of whites with similar Index scores.
