“Separate but equal” then. “Race neutral” now. Read my article about the Supreme Court’s decision on #affirmativeaction 👇🏽

"A century from now, scholars of racism will look back at today’s Supreme Court decision on affirmative action the way we now look back at Gong Lum v. Rice—as a judicial decision based in legal fantasy," @DrUJayakumar and @DrIbram write: theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…



It’s taken a minute to sink in, but feels great to help Justice Sotomayor tell Thomas to fuck off news.ucr.edu/articles/2023/…

THIS is race-conscious admissions--THAT has NOT been reversed: "nothing in this opinion should be construed as prohibiting universities from considering an applicant’s discussion of how race affected his or her life, be it through discrimination, inspiration, or otherwise."

The term "race conscious," as a descriptor for affirmative action, is as flawed as the term "race neutral" for the other admission metrics, as @DrUJayakumar and I explain @TheAtlantic "Race conscious" reinforces the "race neutral" and "colorblind" frame. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…


Race will continue to count in college admissions, but only if you are white.

Before you begin your thinkpiece, the Supreme Court DID NOT strike down Affirmative Action Admission preferences for legacies, donors, employee families and special recommendations are still allowed The Court struck down Affirmative Action For everyone except WHITE PEOPLE
