Law professor. Constitutional Law, Racial Justice, Human Rights. He/him 🏳️‍🌈.
In “The Law of Racial Resentment,” I critique how SCOTUS validated racial resentment in SFFA v. Harvard and argue we need stronger legal/structural responses to counter resentment—not appease it.

Now in @uclalawreview.bsky.social
