Race should only be a tiebreaker between applicants who are equally qualified through objective criteria.
The tiebreaker should favor whichever applicant is in a group that is currently under represented or least represented.
Race shouldn't be a factor at all.
Wrong.
The Supreme Court has upheld such admissions policies that comport with Constitutional case law:
“…what's important to look at here is who's bringing this lawsuit. I understand that Yukong Zhao is involved, but, ultimately, this lawsuit was started by a white anti-civil rights activist named Edward Blum who has been trying to end various civil rights protections in American society for years now, and he's currently been fixated on ending the consideration of race in inclusive admissions practices. He's been suing various colleges. He's sued the University of Texas twice. It went to the Supreme Court twice. He lost twice. And then he went and decided he needed more sympathetic plaintiffs. And so he advertised for Asian-American plaintiffs.
So he didn't start this lawsuit out of a concern for Asian-Americans. He basically went and found Asian-Americans to serve his ultimate goal, which is to end a system that is designed and has proven successful in increasing fairness, increasing opportunity, creating more diversity and a better educational environment that is good for everyone...”

The lawsuit therefore is about an unwarranted hostility toward lawful, Constitutional efforts to address the problem of discrimination in admission policies, a lawsuit whose goal it is to allow colleges and universities to indeed practice discrimination with impunity.
