affirmative action

Every year hundreds of thousands of people apply to colleges hoping that they get in well some times the schools look at the nationality or even your gender I think that this is a god idea because the colleges will have more of a mixture at the school. Some people may not agree with this but besides a few little problems it is generally a good idea. I would like to know that I am getting into a college because of the stuff that I know not my nationality or my gender.
