To fix representation of minorities in fields where they are currently under represented, we need to start by fixing our school system. You cannot fix discrimination of one kind by applying discrimination of another kind. The role of the supreme court is not to fix the inequalities of our society, it is to uphold the law and constitution of the US. This is my favorite quote from the opinion on this case from Justice Thomas's concurring opinion: "Both experience and logic have vindicated the Constitution’s colorblind rule and confirmed that the universities’ new narrative cannot stand. Despite the Court’s hope in Grutter (previous case) that universities would voluntarily end their race-conscious programs and further the goal of racial equality, the opposite appears increasingly true. Harvard and UNC now forthrightly state that they racially discriminate when it comes to admitting students, arguing that such discrimination is consistent with this Court’s precedents. And they,along with today’s dissenters, defend that discrimination as good. More broadly, it is becoming increasingly clear that discrimination on the basis of race—often packaged as “affirmative action” or “equity” programs—are based on the benighted notion “that it is possible to tell when discrimination helps, rather than hurts, racial minorities.” [...] “Purchased at the price of immeasurable human suffering,” the Fourteenth Amendment recognizes that classifications based on race lead to ruinous consequences for individuals and the Nation."
