So as far as I can tell, racial discrimination is legal, even if you admit to it and everyone knows you're doing it, but only if you retain plausible deniability. Is that right?It seems to me there was a case a year or two ago over a law passed by a city referendum; someone was seeking to overturn it on the grounds that the voters voted for it for racist reasons. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? What came of that, and how does it bear on this?
Update: Opinion Journal puts this slightly differently: "A cynic might conclude that yesterday's decisions mean universities can still racially discriminate, as long as they're not too obvious about it." I bet you didn't know that I was a cynic.
