If SCOTUS was serious about their ludicrous “colorblindness” claims, they would have abolished legacy admissions, aka affirmative action for the privileged. 70% of Harvard’s legacy applicants are white. SCOTUS didn’t touch that - which would have impacted them and their patrons.

“Republicans are so afraid of democracy that they want to disenfranchise predominantly Black voters who have been disenfranchised for as far back as when Black people were enslaved in the USA. This has nothing to do with election integrity. This is about racial control.”
