We've always kind of known it, today he just made it really, really clear.
There are those who contend that it does not benefit African-Americans to get them into the University of Texas where they do not do well, as opposed to having them go to a less advanced school, a less a slower track school where they do well. One of, one of the briefs pointed out that most of the black scientists in this country don’t come from schools like the University of Texas… They come from lesser schools where they do not feel that they’re pushed ahead in classes that are too fast for them…I’m just not impressed by the fact that the University of Texas may have too fewer. Maybe it ought to have too fewer. And maybe some, you know, when you take more, the number of blacks, really competent blacks admitted to lesser schools, turns out to be less. I don’t think it stands to reason that it’s a good thing for the University of Texas to admit as many blacks as possible. Link
The case involves Affirmative Action at the University of Texas and the remarks above were made by Scalia during oral argument. Apparently, trying to make amends for systemic, institutional racism isn't important, because to Scalia, those Blacks just ain't that smart.
What a horrible, horrible human being.
