The Supreme Court has probably upheld more Affirmative Action cases than it has rejected...the rejections being of those that crossed the line on quotas.

When institutional racism or racial preference favoring the majority, either by design or default, is eliminated....then Affirmative Action and remedies like this one in Port Chester (where White voting blocks have, in effect, prevented Hispanic representation on the town council) will no longer be needed.

50 years? I hope it less than that.

At the same time, IMO, some Affirmative Action programs should never end.
