When you look at the fact that affirmative action was voted out in a state of california and look at the numbers of blacks and spandex now in those top schools,
as governor gave a non newsome brought up it

As a was saying, even liberal states have voted out affirmative action. California, washington state the results, despite their best efforts in,

that mean exactly how does a college admissions board take this ruling which, by the way most of them have been expecting to go this way for some time now? Well, it means that you can make any assumptions about someone because of their race. That's what the chief justice was really stressing. He said you can't say well being
This applicant as black or hispanic you can assume they carry with them certain x,
answers or orb obstacles are or what have you. He called that stereotypes.
He did not rule out, as you say that if someone has been affected

while harboured said no, we're not discriminate against anybody and these personality scores. What have you dont reflect

Joyce. I agree. I certainly agree with you and and share your concerns.
I do wonder what what how what you're responds, not just
The majorities facts that they put forward about asian americans being discriminated against but asian,

so Joe, I think your comments are smart comments and they point to how difficult and nuanced of a problem. This is because, when you talk about
college admissions, its inherent, lay a zero sum game. Some students are admitted others.
We are not admitted and the central question here
whether there is a legitimate interest that survive strict scrutiny in ensuring that black students are admitted that the historic impacts,
slavery and of discrimination dont continuance.
the modern era and although that's tough
in some ways when you looked across the groups, but we have to do- is have legal rules that permit universities to make decisions that benefit the future
I dont mean to pretend that these decisions are anymore easier or simple than they are. But the fact of the
or is that when you look at the law in this area, not not just cases
