affirmative action

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saIVafSC38k

Should affirmative actions be used for lower class people instead of by race. In this clip Barack Obama talks about how he hopes that his children are seen as privileged and do not get in just by the color of their skin. He goes on to talk about lower class white and black families and how he hopes that they are helped out because they have had less. Does going by social status instead of race sound like a good idea? No matter what someone will get angry, that is the nature of the beast called America, everyone has an opinion, right or wrong. He also said we have to account which generation of middle class people are. How would we do this? Would we have to everyone have a background check? Or are there other ways to do it that are simpler?
