A Racist on the Supreme Court


Besides being slightly dimwitted, saying she couldn't define what is a woman because she is "not a biologist" (when asked during her senate confirmation hearing,) Jackson now has come out as a racist* with her dissenting statement on yesterday's SCOTUS decision to eliminate affirmative action by institutes of higher learning when choosing applicants for admission:

"Although formal race-linked legal barriers are gone, race still matters to the lived experiences of all Americans in ways, and today's ruling makes things worse, not better."  

It might make it worse for black students who would be accepted with mediocre grades and lower aptitude simply because of their skin color, but it makes it better for the many Asians, and other ethnic groups, who have consistently been rejected by Harvard and Yale for being too smart. (FYI, Jackson graduated from Harvard.)

* Racism is discrimination and prejudice towards people based on their race or ethnicity. Racism can be present in social actions, practices, or political systems that support the expression of prejudice or aversion in discriminatory practices.
