[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t mean to sound rude but who cares?  I will be perfectly honest that in my view, the goal of affirmative action is to fix the systemic injustices created by slavery (and other racial injustices) where those injustices still exist for minority groups. If one particular minority group is no longer impacted by the past injustices perpetrated against them, then that is not a reason to scrap a policy that helps other minority groups. No longer benefiting from a particular policy aimed to increase social justice and right the past errors that created those injustices is not a reason to throw out the policy as a whole. [/quote]

yeah but you can't fix one injustice with another injustice. as one of SCOTUS said, when is it enough? how do you know when to stop? [/quote]

What’s the injustice?  That Asian Americans get into a particular school at rates well above their representation in the general population but may lose a few spots to other minorities?  I don’t see that as an injustice.

Supreme Court is full of conservative hacks, so I am really not looking to them to provide a good insight into undoing systemic social injustices. [/quote]
