Black children are often born into a far more disadvantaged environment than white children.
If that were the case, you'd try to measure disadvantage. Lots of information is already available to admissions counselors - family income, what schools were attended, etc.
In reality, AA benefits primarily upper middle class black children. AA is not about disadvantaged backgrounds and it's disingenuous to pretend it is.
Equality of opportunity is not normalized after a scantron test...
You previously discussed discrimination. I pointed out that a scantron can't discriminate. Now you are moving the goalposts.

A scantron cannot produce an equalized result because everything leading up to the test was already unequal.
I'm not moving the goal post - I'm simply pointing out that every goal post you set up (first it was college admissions, then it was scantron tests) is not arrived at from a position of equal opportunity. The "goal post" is prior to birth - every one has equal opportunity at that point, of course no one gets to choose to whom they're born. Once born, there is no more equality of opportunity.
