This paper discusses the reasoning behind educated conservatives opposing affirmative action.  There were two studies illustrating two findings: 1.) conservatives oppose affirmative action more when it is applied to Blacks rather than women, and 2.) the connection between conservatives and their attitudes on affirmative action is linked more to group-based stereotypes rather than something like racism. 

I found this paper extremely enjoyable.  The idea of being educated and still finding certain policies invalid is a current topic that is on the minds of many people.  The article was lengthy but not difficult to follow.  It also built upon previous studies (which it should) that added to the research.
