I have no patience for a podcase on a topic I may want to comment on. My problems not yours :)

"Hijacked." No. that implies intention. The problem is that in a desire to offset some of the disadvantages that descendants of slaves and to a lesser extent people who look like descendants of slaves face various institutions set up crude programs of favoritism that have the result of making it easier for a first generation Nigerian to get into Harvard than a first generation Swede or Indian. :) Since I don't think anyone really disagrees about waiting to offset some of those disadvantages, the question what less crude programs could be used. To do that, you probably need to interview an economist more than a lawyer.
