As the Chief Justice said in one of his dissents, "The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race."
The current system is absurd in the way that it forces everyone into racial and ethnic categories. Blacks receive advantages because they're a minority, but only if they come from America and not if they come from Africa, while Asians don't get advantages, even though they're also a minority. Hispanics get advantages, although they;re about to become the majority in some places, while whites are always disadvantaged, without regard to whether they come from poor or disadvantaged backgrounds. It's nuts.
