"Nothing in this opinion should be construed as prohibiting universities from considering an applicants discussion of how race affected his or her life."

I read this to mean that someone from a challenging background WHO IS QUALIFIED can be given extra consideration for overcoming his or her environmental limitations.

You have to admit that a black student growing up in Detroit has not had the resources to perform to his or her optimal ability as compared to a white child growing up in a rich Detroit burb.

HOWEVER, I remain sympathetic to the plight oi the less advantaged in the world and root for their lot in life to be improved. I just oppose using government to do so at the expense of others.
