US SUPREME COURT RULES AGAINST AFFIRMATIVE ACTION 6 TO 3

>From Chief Justice Robert's decision for the majority" The student must be treated based on his or her experiences as an individual—not on the basis of race," he wrote. "Many universities have for too long done just the opposite. And in doing so, they have concluded, wrongly, that the touchstone of an individual's identity is not challenges bested, skills built, or lessons learned but the color of their skin. Our constitutional history does not tolerate that choice. "

 And my comment on this decision, which I posted a few inutes ago on Newser: 

 Don't expect much change soon. The enormous bureaucracy in every Human Resources Dept and EEOC office in the land will fight to keep their jobs - and their job is never hire the best, never giver the scholarship or admit the best qualified. Their purpose IN THEIR JOB is to make sure the best qualified is not chosen. Get a basically qualified candidate (as Eleanor Holmes Norton demanded back in the Carter days. The struggle for equal rights against the affirmative action racists has not ended, it has only restarted.

Unfortunately, Chief Justice Roberts, in his same decision, guided supporters of AA to a new loop hole he was creating with this sentence,  “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.”  Affirmative Action will continue, with the same administrators admitting some applicants, perhaps even with a 3-word essay, "I am _______ (Fill out with a preferred minority).  I wonder how many white males will be admitted under this system.
