Bad history wasn't caused by race blindness but quite the opposite, by racial discrimination.
There are many ways to justify racial discrimination, they are all wrong. Not the first time "the privileged" were said to be in the wrong either.
If you want to help people who are poor, live in poor neighbourhoods and whose parents have no degrees (example of effects of bad history), go ahead and no one will judge you use those factors and end up helping mostly people of a certain race, as long as you're not actually taking their race into account when making decisions.
But that's not what's happening, or at least what DOJ is alleging is that Yale does in fact use race as primary decision factor. They should not be looking at race as a factor at all, even if supreme court allows for that.
