I would also want to be hired or otherwise chosen based on my merits, or my potential.
I want my merits to show through work, or my potential to show through my intelligence and eagerness to learn new skills.
I would not want it given to me for free, and I certainly wouldn't want to be put into a position where I am guaranteed to fail upward, or hit a ceiling where I fail so much that no one sees my merits or my potential.
Quick edit: And not everyone is intelligent. There are career paths for everyone; substitute intelligence for work ethic and potential to master a single skill very well. This is what should be happening. Not skin, not sex, not sexual orientation.
I write separately to offer an originalist de-
fense of the colorblind Constitution; to explain further the
flaws of the Court’s Grutter jurisprudence; to clarify that all
forms of discrimination based on race—including so-called
affirmative action—are prohibited under the Constitution;
and to emphasize the pernicious effects of all such discrimination.
It's a long read. For those who click through, Thomas's opinion starts after the 40-page majority opinion, and is also very long. He quotes Thomas Sowell, though, among many others. And disses Sotomayor very thoroughly.
God appoints us each precisely to certain times and places of significance. Poor white males struggling to find footing in this world were just seen, and it was by a man that is administering the equality of justice after rising up from where it was not present in his own past.
Agree.... AA at the top schools does affect Asians the most. I was thinking of the vast majority of other places: jobs, contract work, scholarships, and entry into the bulk of colleges.

I'm intelligent (and modest, too!)

I self identify as soft-spoken, and meek.

While i dont disagree most of the discrimination at these top schools is against Asians, who also dont deserve it

Love and admire this patriot soo much!
Amen. I could not say it any better than he did.

Bravo. Now do Election Integrity.
