I mean, in a sense, affirmative action can be reframed in terms of the family income, something like EFC that FAFSA uses. I mean, the primary way in which racism permeates our society and creates an influence on opportunity is through money, and so not only does this prevent the whole "reverse racism" complaint, it will more or less perform the same, as racial inequalities are encoded in economic inequalities anyway.

That said, most of the outrage regarding affirmative action is driven by a shitty understanding of our society and the effect of affirmative action in the first place.
