Affirmative action can only exist in a fiat system. Merit is characteristic of free markets because that's what wins.

That said, this one ruling isn't going to change things very much. Every college is going to dig in their heels and use whatever loophole they can to do what they want to do anyway. They'll continue their fiat rot and we'll only see real reform when the pipeline of money from Cantillon Effects dries up.

Thankfully, that day is coming. The real destroyer of such stupidity is and always will be #Bitcoin.
