In 1990, the state of Illinois’s Black and Hispanic population was 22.5%.
The flagship University of Illinois, where Andreesen graduated with a bachelor’s in 1993 had a total Black and Hispanic student population of **9.6%*** in 1991.
So who was being discriminated against exactly?

Re-upping from Thursday:
Some are defending #SCOTUS’s repeated (unexplained) interventions to put blocked Trump initiatives back into effect as the justices saving their capital for bigger cases to come.
