I agree that in many ways, economic diversity (or AA) is more critical than race-based AA for many of the reasons you and Balt said.
In many areas, though, economics-based AA ends up being very similar to race-based AA in terms of the end result. However, no one can say that economics-based AA is unconstitutional. I know that some colleges have gone to such programs after the recent rulings against racial targets.
