Not as good as it could have been but at least they upheld it. And they should keep doing that until (unlikely as it is) there is no bias and inequality in our system. But currently there clearly is bias and inquality so affirmative action is required to try to even the scales. Its not racism when its evening the scales. Racism is when you make them farther apart... as opposed to this, which makes up for natural disadvantages people in the affected groups have. None of them are their faults, so its a badly needed program to make up for those things...
Saying that getting rid of affirmative action does anything other than increase bias and racism and dramatically lower the number of black (and other affected minority) students from going to college is delusional.
