Jay in today’s Impromptus: “I’m looking at a photo caption in the New York

Times: It says, ‘Concepcion Escobar, 31, who just graduated from law school

at the University of Michigan, said she thought she would probably not have

gotten into the school had race not been a factor in the admissions

process.’ Why isn’t she embarrassed about this? Why isn’t she disgusted? How

can she have stayed there comfortably, knowing that she had gotten in, not

by the skin of her teeth, but just plain by her skin (or whatever)?” Um,

Jay, could the answer to your “Why… Why… How…” possibly be: Because

she can now ask her own price from all the law firm recruiters trawling

desperately for “diversity” hires to make up their race quotas? Because she

is now set up for life on the “diversity” gravy train, with a long lead over

any lawyer named merely Derbyshire or Nordlinger in such things as, oh,

consideration for a post as Supreme Court Justice? Could it be?
