I've seen some cheering among Asian Americans about this decision, given that they apparently had the most rejected applications from Ivy Leagues or some such.
That does make it a bit nuanced, though I doubt the SC took that into account.

They think they are being denied b/c of so called 'underperforming' Blacks/Hispanics. But what some of them don't understand, admissions to Colleges/University's is more than just 'Grades/SAT/GPA' they also consider 'intangibles' such as Social work, Community Service, etc.

Nobody wants a bunch of anti-social workaholic bots walking around in their books all day, if that's the only criteria of getting in.

As for ending it, well, I dunno many people often misread Affirmative Action as a 'White/Black' issue, but it's really any group (other races, disabled, LGBTQ, etc) who should not be discriminated against and be considered for a spot as along as they are qualified for it.

I never was a fan of it (as a 'Black' person) because I don't think people should be forced to work/study/etc together if they aren't welcome. But at the same time, I think people (regardless of your background) should step out their comfort zones sometimes and learn and meet different things/people.
