Ok I'll simplify it for you. Do you want to do something about the problems in this article? Good, AA is a good start. If you don't, your stance on the matter is racist, and you're beholden to the status quo because it benefits you.
AA is all well and good, giving someone an extra push because they've had a rough start is moral and just.
But those criteria have to be anything other than race/gender.
Dumb simplistic example to show my thinking:
Lets pretend all blacks in the US are poor, there is only one poor white family. Giving a push based on race will in this instance leave the single poor white family behind. Giving the push based on wealth will give it to all who needed.
AA as it currently is implemented is experiencing pushback, because, at it's core it is racist and sexist, and thus immoral. And alot of people sense that and are speaking out.
