Appeals court considering UT's use of race in admissions
Three-judge panel in New Orleans to hear oral arguments on Tuesday.
Is the University of Texas violating the law by considering race and ethnicity when it decides whom to admit to its freshman class?
That question will be debated Tuesday before a three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans.
The case, filed in 2008 by two white students who were denied admission, is the first challenge of a university's affirmative action policies since the U.S. Supreme Court upheld affirmative action at the University of Michigan's law school in 2003.

U.S. District Judge Sam Sparks of Austin sided with the university last year when he threw out the case filed by Abigail Fisher and Rachel Michalewicz , who claimed that UT's race-conscious policy violated their civil and constitutional rights. By then, the two had enrolled elsewhere.
Sparks said in his ruling that UT's admission system includes some race-neutral policies, such as a state law guaranteeing admission to students who rank in the top 10 percent of their high school graduating class and scholarships aimed at underrepresented parts of the state.
"But, despite those efforts, UT still found diversity lacking in its student body and thus decided to consider race as part of its admissions process," the judge wrote.

It's been said many times, but I'll say it again: When these liberal social "engineers" insist that short slow white boys and even shorter slower Mexicans must be admitted to the UT Basketball team, then I'll consider taking them seriously. Until then they remain the most evil of racists; they perpetuate racism to meet their own selfish ends.

Once again, we get a look into the foggy and twisted minds of liberals who believe that discrimination against Whites is not only acceptable, but that it should also be officially sanctioned. To the irrational and illogical mind of the liberal, the best way to deal with discrimination, even perceived discrimination, is to, discriminate. Why would they think that? Because they know that Whites don't protest, riot, and burn cities down, so they have no fear of any kind of backlash.
But because liberals are irrational and illogical, they don't realize (or care) that their actions "could be" the cause of the kind of backlash this country hasn't seen in over a century. They would do well to remember that blacks make up only 12-13% of the population. Even black activists understand that, which is why they always say, "blacks and hispanics". The same tactic is used in the wild, where it's common for smaller prey animals to always puff themselves up when faced by a predator, creating the impression that they're bigger than they really are. And it works. Sometimes.
Here's an example of what can happen when blacks react to the "message" being sent a from this WH.
