As for racism, that's a tougher argument that's really not worth having as long as you believe affirmative action is (1) institutionalized racism (arguable, but reasonable) that is (2) motivated by implicit racism and condescension (absurd and counter to experience).

I'm willing to set aside AA. I'm talking about the old fashion type of racism.
SF is an anomoly because it is seemingly very tolerant on racial issues. That being said, it is the most homogenous city I've ever lived in or visited, and I suspect that plays a huge part in it. It is far easier to be tolerant from a far.
