I only stated that this is a different topic - one you could have treated as such but YOU didn't. Don't put it on me. Again, your immediate reaction:

2 : the principal component of something

Race is not "THE" principal component of AA. I'll spare myself the task of explain the term "THE" (or principal) to you in terms on your level of understanding. I'll also save you the embarrassment of highlighting that bs you posted re: athletes and everything/one who benefits from those admissions.

AA for (WHITE) WOMEN is based on race? Okay. AA is based on the (WHITE) WOMAN race then. lol
That's proof that:
Race (meaning Black, White, etc.) is not "THE" principal component of AA.
It is as I said:
Race is not the defining character of the consideration for AA. The [defining] basis includes a number of considerations which include veteran status, age, gender and "underrepresented" minority status. So, properly put, AA is BASED on all those things and not any one particular criteria.
You are doing yourself a disservice. You have run out of angles to justify your idea that AA is based on RACE. AA is, rather, based on the concept of supplying opportunities for people who fit into a category of historically excluded (and therefore under-served) or those who are current underrepresented. That's how AA can and does include veterans, the disabled and all of the above.
THE CONCEPT IS NOT BASED ON RACE. It's based on those consideration I lined out which readily explains, again, AA opportunities given to veterans, the disabled and women of ALL 'RACES.'
If AA was based on race then it would not have categories where ALL RACES qualify.
