Clarence Thomas did benefit from Affirmative Action, and he wishe he hadn't. He said that it was hard to find a job after he graduated law school, because people thought that he might not be as good as his peers, because of affirmative action.
I remember when affirmative action was a way for women to get a leg up. I have never believed that any standards should be degraded just so women could compete with. No doubt, I benefitted from affirmative action; but at the same time I would have to prove over and over that I merited the opportunity. To me, equal means equal, and I think that should be the law of the land. If you can't make it into a primo school without getting extra points for your race, you'll just have to go to a school where you can compete.
Biden says this decision is from "not a normal court", but realistically other than minorities, I think most Americans think you should have to compete on your merit.
