Supreme Court Hands Down Affirmative Action Ruling: The Inside Story
With a firm 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court made a decisive move, knocking down affirmative action and marking it as a breach of the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause. As the gavel fell, a number of Asian-Americans, including Yiatin Chu of the Asian Wave Alliance, celebrated what they considered a significant step towards equal treatment in leading universities. But their celebration was soon overshadowed by allegations of supporting white supremacy.

Back to the Roots: Standing Against Discrimination or Supporting ‘White Supremacy’?
To unpack this situation, we must trace back to its roots. It all began with allegations of discrimination against Asian-American students due to affirmative action. The crux of the matter was that affirmative action imposed a higher standard on Asian-American students compared to their Black or Hispanic counterparts. The spotlight was shone on Harvard, accused of penalizing Asian-American students and neglecting to apply race-neutral practices. Now, their fight for fair treatment has somehow earned them a label of ‘white supremacy’ enablers. Isn’t life full of twists and turns?
Reception Split: Cheers of Victory, Claims of Legalized Discrimination
While Asian-Americans saw the ruling as a victory, the progressives begged to differ. They argued that the Supreme Court had effectively sanctioned discrimination against Black students. Eddie Glaude, a Princeton professor and regular MSNBC guest, did not mince his words, predicting a return to a ‘segregated’ landscape. It’s indeed a world of stark contrasts.

Hill is no stranger to controversy. She has previously contended that Black people can “carry the water” for White supremacy, following the incident of Tyre Nichols’ police beating by five Black officers.

And there you have it, readers! A fight for equality that has somehow morphed into an unusual narrative of ‘white supremacy’. But where do you stand in all this?
