When I was in Cameroon I had a discussion about Affirmative Action with a wealthy Cameroonian who obtained his Ph.D. in engineering from the state of Michigan when he was in his 20's. He pretty much espoused your view, that we should have an economic system that makes decisions based on economic status, not skin colour. It was that conversation that actually changed my mind on the issue as well. Granted, I hadn't given it as much thought as I may have if I grew up in America.
