Justice Scalia was making a common sense point that affirmative action in the placement of some minorities in top notch schools may not be in their best interest if they don’t have the foundation to keep up with the tough programs. He said they may be better served with less strenuous schools where they are better able to compete and succeed. That’s not racist, it’s just good common sense. And that’s not just opinion, there’s statistical study to affirm Scalia’s statement. Don’t need to believe it at face value, here’s a CNN opinion piece by an African American, saying Scalia has a point:

Thanks for the link. I still feel the same way. If a black student is admitted to a college or university, we would presume that he qualified to be admitted. Why suggest he would be happier at a lesser school? And believe me, I am against affirmative action. Does that include admitting students who can’t qualify?
