Sorry about that accidental post. My finger slipped.

The major reason to support affirmative action appears to be the lack of alternatives, so I will present one. First, the problem of education disparities needs to be solved. A program like ROTC, except for teachers in inner-city and other under-performing schools would work well; the teacher gets a free college education, the schools have enough teachers to make class size ratios tolerable. In the long-term, this should also let minorities reduce or eliminate the wealth disparities.
