Quick recap of online debate

Part of what makes this debate so interesting is the fact that most people are arguing about different things. Is affirmative action about diversity or reparations? What qualifies as “diversity” and is that something worth fighting for? Should diversity be sought in race, sex, religion, social class … opinions? Do people even understand what reparations are and why some people still see them as necessary (slavery was kind of a big deal and there’s no denying its effects to this day)? Are reparations even possible at this point, especially with the current (various) affirmative action programs in place?
