Friday’s Morning Joe took to bemoaning the US Supreme Court’s decision to end affirmative action policies at Harvard and the University of North Carolina. MSNBC legal analyst Joyce Vance provided a bizarre criticism of the decision: seemingly arguing that minority students were literally incapable of writing essays about facing racial diversity.
Vance repeated the traditional leftist defense of affirmative action, that it was necessary to fix the damage caused by discrimination that happened in America’s past, but added a weird new angle to the argument.
