>Admirable principle, are you actually consistent with it?

Are you searching for a way to make an ad hominem here, or just fishing for a contradiction? Either way, this seems like a backwards to make the argument. If you believe that the principle behind affirmative action would lead to absurdities if applied consistently, why not just come out and say so?

>What if you think it's not worth your while because it's being promoted through ineffective, destructive methods?

The statement was about whether the goal was worthwhile, not the means.
