Let-Them-Eat-Cake Obliviousness, Racial Disparity, Striving to Achieve True Equality, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson

“With let-them-eat-cake obliviousness, today, the majority pulls the ripcord and announces ‘colorblindness for all’ by legal fiat. But deeming race irrelevant in law does not make it so in life. ...The only way out of this morass – for all of us – is to stare at racial disparity unblinkingly, and then do what evidence and experts tell us is required to level the playing field and march forward together, collectively striving to achieve true equality for all Americans.” - Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, dissenting to the Supreme Court’s majority ruling prohibiting the use of affirmative action in college admissions.
