SCOTUS will consider two cases about race in college admissions: Harvard (private) & UNC (public).

Emotions may run high.

We argue neither for nor against but merely note that 18% of black people are committed to consideration of race in admissions and 62% are against it. pic.twitter.com/AVwIHwaZl1

he's talking about the buzz about the coming appointment to the Supreme Court, but his comment applies on this topic even better:

For real though, this is how racial sectarianism works. You chop people up into these classifications then hand out prizes in zero sum games, it breeds resentment and hatred. That's why it's hard to argue you can defeat racism without getting rid of race.

The majority of Americans KNOW up close and personal that affirmative action in college admissions breeds resentment, they see the resentment in friends and relatives if not personally impacted.
