Justice Clarence Thomas pressed North Carolina’s solicitor general to explain how the University of North Carolina defines diversity during oral arguments on Monday in a Supreme Court case centered around the use of race as a factor in college admissions.
“I’ve heard the word diversity quite a few times and I don’t have a clue what it means,” said Thomas. “It seems to mean everything for everyone.”
Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) has challenged the race-based admissions policies of both Harvard and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC), accusing both schools of discriminating against Asian-American applicants. The cases were initially merged, but are now being heard separately after Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson recused herself from the Harvard case because she had previously served on the university’s board of overseers.

Isn’t it strange than an all black neighborhood or an all black college are considered “diverse?”
As was explained to me by a young black woman during a company run “teamwork” seminar back in the 90s:
“’Diversity’ is gettin rid of all you 50 year old white guys.”
The biggest mistake we made was the bussing cr**. The world is not diverse...we group....always have...always will...and government promotes it...gay month...indigenous month...black month...german festival...etc etc...
“Ketanji Brown Jackson recused herself from the Harvard case because she had previously served on the university’s board of overseers.”
OH MAN. I bet she is seething with rage over that one.
“’Diversity’ is gettin rid of all you 50 year old white guys.”
And Haiti has never been nicer now that all those whites have been eaten.
“I’ve heard the word "election denial" quite a few times and I don’t have a clue what it means,” said 1OldPro.
Where is the unloading part?
“Justice Sandra Day O’Connor wrote for the Grutter majority that race should be used as a “plus factor,” and argued that such usage does not violate the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause.
That was SDO’s biggest she problem, always tried to have it both ways.
You cannot give one race a “plus factor” in preference to another whether they be in the majority or not without explicitly violating their 14th amendment rights.......PERIOD!
How ironic she willingly served as an “overseer”
Diversity is nothing more than reverse discrimination.
Please note that it is the Asian (Korean-American) lawyer Park who is arguing AGAINST the Asian plaintiffs in this case.
How ironic she willingly served as an “overseer”
Yes, I kind of snickered at that word.
All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.
“Please note that it is the Asian (Korean-American) lawyer Park who is arguing AGAINST the Asian plaintiffs in this case.”
Pretty common actually especially when politics are intermingled with litigation. Makes good sense on several levels.
Diversity means no white people need apply.
<>Nine states have already ended consideration of race in university admissions, including Arizona, California, Florida, Idaho, Michigan, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Washington.<>
Race-based preferences are illegal, wrong and unconstitutional. Any law that allows them is invalid. Thus applies not just to college admissions, but to hiring and government contracting.
