Your tone seems disagreeing, but I think your second to last paragraph is making the same point I’m making?

I agree with you that it’s not fair, I’m just acknowledging that the adjudication of fairness happens outside the reach of science. It’s a matter of values not evidence.

The second to last paragraph supports a minor point you made.

But the others contradict most of what you said. The pro-affirmative action position that you outlined requires willful blindness and stupidity to accept. It is very emphatically not equally valid to the alternatives.

There may be better arguments for accepting affirmative action as valid. But that one is terrible.
