Third, the front page of the Washington Post notes that Hispanics have now officially passed blacks as the nation’s largest minority group. That, and the rising number of Asians as well, is yet another reason why the Supreme Court and the rest of the government ought to end affirmative action. Maybe–I doubt it, but maybe–the case might have been made at one time for giving preferences to blacks over whites, but now places like the University of Michigan are giving preferences to Hispanics over Asians. What’s the historical justification for THAT?
