US supreme court rules against affirmative action in Harvard and UNC cases

So Affirmative Action is basically dead for college admissions, further dismantling Civil Rights era legislation.

Way to go, SCOTUS. /s

An analysis of student records by Students for Fair Admissions, a conservative activist group representing Asian American students in the lawsuit against Harvard, found that the institution, on average, rated Asian American applicants lower in personality and likability ratings than others.<

I didn't see that approach coming, but I guess I should have. Conservatives have always argued that affirmative action was racist, but racist against white folks. Now they've found a non-white group that they could argue was discriminated against based on race.

Oh yeah, that's what this case has always been. Cynical conservatives used a group of well-meaning Asian students to push their hateful, bigoted agenda. Exploiting minorities is what these people do best.
