“The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race.”
Clarence Thomas, the only black Supreme Court justice, in his concurring opinion wrote,
“ Every time the government uses racial criteria to ‘bring the races together,’ someone gets excluded, and the person excluded suffers an injury solely because of his or her race.”
