Whether or not you see value in "diversity" (whatever that means),
certainly it should be clear that "skin color" is a completely
ridiculous criterion to include in admissions. Fundamentally, skin
color is just as important as eye color in college admissions: in other
words, it's not, at all!
Race-based admissions is racism. That's all there is to it.
