The headline is not literally true. Two of the screwees are Hispanic.
And this vote against government-sanctioned racism was only passed 5-4. Should have been 9-0. I would like the “dissenters” to explain their support of racism.
Artful omissions by the NYT at the top of the article leaves the reader to think the test was rigged, when just the opposite is true.
The test was designed and tested to avoid disparate impact and is widely used by other municipalities.
As the majority opinion noted, New Haven’s position was “blatently contradicted by the facts”.
The Ginsberg rant was also blatently contradicted by the facts.
Now the question to Sotomayor, if confirmed as Justice, will you uphold the principle of “stare decisis” and accept this decision as your own?
Who cares?
I think hispanics are considered "white" for racial purposes. They usually break it down as "non hispanic whites" and "hispanics".
For purposes of race whining they are a minority.
Always remember what they call the person who graduated last in their medical school class: DOCTOR

No it won't. It simply invalidates the wrognful interpretation of a law whose text (and original intent) hasn't changed in over 40 years. That wrongful interpretation didn't exist when the law was made, but gradually evolved by a process of self-deception and intellectual dishonesty among "liberals," socialists and communists (most of whom won't admit that's what they are--not even to themselves--but will be unable to explain the fatal flaws of socialism, nor cite any substantative differences between socialism and what they believe.)
White is not a race. It is a color. There are many Hispanics that are a lot whiter than my Caucasian skin as there are many southeast Asians whiter than I.
Discrimination by color is not a good quality. Discrimination by race is not a good quality. Discrimination by any facet is not a good quality. The Supreme Court should be applauded for the position they have taken.
For purpose of this thread the headline is not true.
