Opinion: All communities of color are impacted by the Supreme Court's affirmative action decision [Opinion]
What affirmative action does is allow a school to consider the importance of campus diversity when deciding who to admit into its classrooms. Legacy admissions — a decades-old tradition of giving preferences to applicants whose parents attended the same school — is also affirmative action. The difference, however, is that legacy admissions disproportionately benefit White and wealthy families.
What’s more, this ruling did not happen in a vacuum. The history of our great nation is marked with an unquenchable desire by many to keep people of color in their place. With slavery’s abolishment after the Civil War, Southern states resorted to Jim Crow laws to continue racial segregation. Redlining has robbed communities from building generational wealth. The justice system disproportionately incarcerates people of color.
