I'm a racist.'s Journal: That other University of Michigan lawsuit.

I sent this in as a story for the main page... I doubt it'll get there though. They couldn't stand to have my name on the front page. Anyway, this is another important legal decision (no less important that telling the RIAA to go fuck itself). And, like many intellectual property cases, we all just got screwed.

I'm a racist writes, "It appears that affirmative action will be with us for another generation. There were actually two separate suits that reached the Supreme Court. One case involved admission into the undergraduate program, where being "a minority" would get you 20 points (100 required to get in, 150 maximum) on their scale. The other case involved entry into the law school, which had a more vague system of discrimination. The undergraduate method was deemed unconstitutional, while the law school's method was upheld. Both were split decisions. Other articles can be found here, here, here, and here. Some related opinions(from both sides of the fence) are here and here."
