I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

Black enrollment at prestigious Harvard Law School — alma mater of the infinitely impressive and Historic First Diverse Whatever Ketanji Brown Jackson who can’t explain what a woman is because she’s “not a biologist” — dropped off a cliff after the Supreme Court ruled last year the school couldn’t admit unqualified Persons of Color™ based on their immutable characteristics rather than merit, which is obviously some kind of horrific hatecrime.

Via The New York Times (emphasis added):
The number of Black students entering Harvard Law School dropped sharply this fall after last year’s Supreme Court decision banning affirmative action in college admissions, according to enrollment data released on Monday.
Harvard Law enrolled 19 first-year Black students, or 3.4 percent of the class, the lowest number since the 1960s, according to the data from the American Bar Association. Last year, the law school’s first-year class had 43 Black students, according to an analysis by The New York Times…
The Supreme Court decision, and the fact that Harvard College was named in the case, played a role, according to David B. Wilkins, a Harvard law professor who has studied Black representation in the legal profession.
“This obviously has a lot to do with the chilling effect created by that decision,”* Mr. Wilkins said on Monday…
The president of the Harvard Black Law Students Association, Sean Wynn, called the enrollment decline a “crushing loss” and referenced the Supreme Court ruling.
“With this marked decline,” he said in a statement, “the ruling has broken something fundamental** about the experience of attending this law school.”
*There was no “chilling effect,” which implies that somehow Harvard is too scared to let black students in. What happened was that, again, unqualified black students no longer get enrolled because of racist anti-white and anti-Asian vetting policy.
**The “fundamental” thing broken that the Harvard Black Law Students Association race hustler laments is institutionalized racism.

Self-described “Black womanist scholar” Dr. Allison Wiltz (the Dr. Jill brand of doctor, not a real doctor) explains that not racially discriminating against applicants is racist.
Via Dr. Allison Wiltz (emphasis added):
In the year following the national ban on affirmative action, we see that colorblind admissions produced a racist outcome…
Of course, Black students could skip applying to Ivy League schools altogether and apply to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and state-run schools, which are much more likely to accept their applications. But, doing so wouldn't change the fact that racial disparities persist at elite institutions…
In the aftermath of the Supreme Court banning race-based affirmative action policies, the outcome of not seeing race is that racism persists.
“The outcome of not seeing race is that racism persists.”
To borrow the epic catchphrase of Jesse Lee Peterson… Amazin’!
War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.
