The Supreme Court is considering a case brought by Abigail Fisher, a white applicant to the University of Texas at Austin. She was passed over for admission, because a black person was given preferential treatment.
Abigail should never have had to bring this suit. The government, itself, has outlawed, under Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, "discrimination on the basis of race, color or national origin under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance." Ironically, the government, itself, is also the entity mandating such discrimination. What a crazy world!
