Attorneys for the plaintiffs said affirmative action is needed to increase racial diversity at the University of California's most prestigious campuses and professional schools.
They are arguing for the right to discriminate FOR some on the basis of race. It is not possible to do this without discriminating AGAINST others on the basis of race.

It’s time for AA to expire. It’s a discriminatory practice, based on a presumptuous model, that blacks are incapable of, and inferior to, others. Nothing could be further from the truth. Black Americans, like any other Americans, can compete with the best there is. So yes, let’s end this discriminatory process which deludes their accomplishments.
I can’t imagine any black American who wishes to be known for their success as an AA candidate. How humiliating that must be?

I thought that the SCOTUS settled this in Gratz v. Bollinger.

Exactly! My son is half black and half white. He is 3/4 of the way through Air Force Basic Training and he is and always has been disgusted with “set asides” where one qualifies on the basis of skin color and not brain matter.
If blacks and Hispanics are falling behind academically then it’s up to THEIR OWN community to rectify the situation (namely PARENTS) and not the government. BTW he is a registered pubbie to vote in the NYS primary.

Racial diversity is NOTHING unless it happens organically. If these people can't meet standards of the job or college application, they need to look internally not externally

Just like a employer can say they are a EEO/AA employer. Never could figure that out.
