July 2, 2003 | Issue 39•25

Last week, the Supreme Court upheld the right of universities to keep admissions policies that incorporate race largely intact. What do you think?

Old Man

Patrick Semple,

"Who is the Supreme Court to say what is right and what is wrong?"

Young Man

Don Brophy,
Auto Mechanic
"I'm not surprised. Have you seen who's on that court? A black, a coupla women, a Catholic, and at least two homos."

Asian Man

Matty Lewis,
Cashier
"Universities need to be diverse in many ways. For example, I think I'd make a great token stupid person."

Young Woman

Michelle Ardmore,
Waitress
"I dated a black guy once. I just wanted to say that."

Old Woman

Donna Gordon,
Speech Therapist
"If you teach a man to fish, he'll fish for a lifetime. So I hope these schools are teaching fishing."

Black Man

Craig Anderson,
Systems Analyst
"Shit. You know what this means? It's going to be a week of, 'So, did you hear about the affirmative-action ruling?' at work."
