What they have found with affirmative action is people are OK with it if:
1) The minority appears disadvantaged that is getting the affirmative action.
2) They feel like they are getting enough to get by economically speaking.
If 1 or 2 goes to shit, Affirmative action basically causes racial tension. People that work and barely afford groceries get much more annoyed by a big family coming in on food stamps that a person with a good salary (generally speaking).
