like I said. show me some company or school with affirmative action policies that says they prefer minorities, and I'll take what you're saying with at least half a grain of salt
...
they won't.
Because it spoils their reputation. No company/school is going to say that affirmative action is a form of discrimination because that makes them sound bad. Let me use a different comparison:
Say you want to know the definition of robbery.
So I get a dictionary, and I tell you the definition of robbery:
"The crime of taking property illegally from other people."
So then you say that this is not a valid source because they don't know what they're talking about!
I ask you what a valid source is.
A robber, duh!
So we go find a robber and ask him what robbery is.
"An action where you steathfully borrow things permanently in order to distribute wealth."
This is loving ridiculous. Obviously, that is a terrible definition of robbery - it vaguely describes it, but not at face value. It's a robber's attempt at making himself look good. Colleges do the same thing - they bend the definition for better reputation.
