, the high court's first Latina justice, wrote that"race matters" because of the"slights, the snickers, the silent judgments that reinforce that most crippling of thoughts: 'I do not belong here.'"
Roberts responded that it was not far-fetched to conclude that racial preferences might"have the debilitating effect of reinforcing precisely that doubt" and, if so, that such"preferences do more harm than good." Not everyone thinks Roberts' vote is necessarily a foregone conclusion. Roberts was clear in his 2007 opinion on the Seattle and Kentucky schools districts that the ruling dealt with high schools, not higher education. And his problem with the public schools' approach, he wrote, was that they used race as the top factor in making decisions.
In other words, students don't get into a college based on race alone. But if a college is considering two equally qualified candidates, a minority student might get the edge.
He might as well be sitting in the back of the room. He means nothing anymore! Moscow Mitch won!

Affirmative action is discrimination based on race. And it's wrong. Next.
