The Supreme Courtroom’s conservative majority signaled deep skepticism Monday over using race-conscious admissions at American faculties in one of the controversial instances earlier than the courtroom this 12 months, questioning the boundaries of such efforts and whether or not they’re wanted to make sure variety.
Affiliate Justice Clarence Thomas, who has opposed race-conscious admissions previously, pressed the lawyer representing North Carolina for a definition of variety and its advantages. “I’ve heard the phrase ‘variety’ fairly a couple of occasions and I haven’t got a clue what it means,” Thomas stated. “It appears to imply all the pieces for everybody.”
Ryan Park, arguing on behalf of UNC, stated that variety “reduces groupthink” and “results in a extra environment friendly end result” in in search of fact. “I do not put a lot inventory in that,” Thomas stated, “as a result of I’ve heard comparable arguments in favor of segregation.”

#SupremeCourt #AffirmativeAction #ClarenceThomas
Thomas is a not-very-bright man, married, by the way, to a not-very-bright fascist woman, and together their aim is to return Americans to the Stone Age, where women have no rights and are reduced to concubines, he can sexually harass any woman or little girl he chooses, and his profoundly ignorant fascist moron of a wife can be head of Don the Con's Flying Monkey Circus.
Impeach all these pos in the Supreme Court Thimas, Kavanaugh, Barrett. They are a bunch of disgrace to the supreme court.
If diversity and inclusion is an issue then Clarence Thomas should step down as he’s only there due to the fact that he’s apart of a very rare select group know as the Black Republicans. Can’t get more uncommon then being Black and Republican. That’s some Affirmative Action for ya.
That’s because he is bias.Thomas needs to be removed.
Justice Thomas, Trump, liar had knowledge in Global Wuhan Covid-19 bioterrorism Conspiracy in 2020 which was masterminded in the shadows by Federation of American Scientists, Trump and his GOP Allies lied on China.
Ask ginni thomas why did her husband do what she said to overturn the rights for women to have an ABORTiON why did he vote against that because he's doing what his wife is asking him to do Clarence Thomas is corrupt. He supports LIES HATE RACISM and the INSURRECTION against the UNITED STATES of AMERICA how many other supreme Court justices are involved in this . How many of them are corrupt time will tell resign Clarence Thomas resign
Justice Thomas is a giant on the Supreme Court.
I work in the most diverse branch of a big company. Love the part where I can't communicate to solve problems.
This guy knows how to ask them questions.
The guy still didn't offer a genuine definition
From the answer of this idiot I still have no idea what he means by diversity.
A college graduate, a Supreme Court Justice has no clue to what diversity is. Read much?
You do know that Clarence Thomas had his brain removed and had a KKK Grand Dragon's brain implanted in that dead space, didn't you? Apparently, it happened in Lake Pontaco, NY.
Black’s Law Dictionary Ninth Edition Bryan A. Garner Editor In Chief page 546; “it did give rise to the question of” “diversity” 1. DIVERSITY OF CITIZENSHIP, moreover, United States’ Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas appointed by a Republican served since 1991, age 74 years born June 23, 1948, he did succeed U. S. Supreme Justice Thurgood Marshall (fmr. Civil Rights Lawyer) appointed by a Democrat served 1967 to 1991 died at the age of 84, again diversity, Justice Thomas is married to Virginia Thomas refer to DOMA – 1996, again diversity, DNA identification (1987) A method of scientific ID based on a person’s unique genetic makeup; specif., the comparison of a person’s Deoxyribonucleic acid), again diversity, source ‘Black’s Law Dictionary’ page 551, liken a Biological Man’s DNA and a Biological Woman’s DNA, a current “improved technology” (2021) Miniscule Material Evidence, again diversity “by clarification” meaning “defined”. And, Fed. Judge Robert L. Hinkle, N. D. FL, ruling (Aug 2014, “chaos”) pending case, again diversity, revisit it (“wrote citing possible fraud” (2020). Asians and others are recognized as hard workers and achievers they should be able to bring diversity into a team players concept especially in Arizona (States) where there going to build manufacturers of semiconductors to compete against other countries.
He is a great man and a very honorable judge.
Is Diversity a strength or Unity ?
The he is an absolute idiot because it is a legal term.
Clarence Thomas is a White Supramacist ,he's the character in the Boondocks
I think argument would have went better if they explain that diversity is opposite of uniformity. Diversity is difference. In the case the college, diversity is defined as the amount of social differences between the applicants from general enrolled student body. These cultural differences can be defined by ethnicity, income group, and/or geographical origin. The benefits of having a diverse student body and therefore less uniform one, gives the individual student practical social education rather than textbook one through increased contact with different social groups.
It was illegal for black people to be educated in America for over 300 years, white people have a 300 year head start.
So if you're telling me we don't need Affirmative Action then you better have a damn good replacement.
Clarence Thomas at this point would defend his own lynching.
Diversity, a word used to create "inclusion" by exclusion. The question was pointed and the answer was not back by any facts or metrics.
Is that the lawyers pulse? Is this why he talks like he did an oz of coke before coming to court?
I like how USA Today left out Justice Thomas’ response…left wing rag
This clip was taken out of context to make Clarence Thomas look like a fool. As if that lawyer schooled him or something. The full proceeding tells a different story.
Disbar him. As a US lawyer, Clarence Thomas is subject to the American Bar Association Rules of Conduct:
Rule 3.1: Meritorious Claims & Contentions
Rule 4.1: Truthfulness in Statements to Others
Rule 8.4: Misconduct
He never defined the term, nor the benefits. The only diversity that counts is the diversity of ideas. What does the color of your skin have to do with the way you think, unless you're looking for radical SJW's.
A Supreme Court Justice doesn’t know what diversity means. A 10 year old knows what diversity means. Wow.
SMH Every minority group who came to America in 1960’s have benefited from the black struggle that MLK fought for. Thomas will reap what he has sown.
What is the wanted outcome of this? Like it discrimination is horrible. But what needs to happen?
ALL OF A SUDDEN THAT TOM DOESN'T KNOW WHAT DIVERSITY IS.
WHAT A CLOWN….IF HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT DIVERSITY MEANS THEN HE SHOULD NOT BE ON THE SUPREME COURT……MR.TOM…TOM.
Diversity is the opposite of white supremacy.
I LOVE ME SOME JUSTICE THOMAS ! AMEN !
"Um … we are desperately trying to impose our Legalized Racism in order to fulfill our sick & twisted ideological Cults wishes. Though we don't mean any of it when we are talking about ourselves ( see the Brown immigrants BOOTED off of Martha's Sanctuary Vineyard !)
Democrats making the identical arguments as they did in 1950. PERFECT !
Unnamed "experts" say it's good, therefore it's good.
Great and important question!! "Diversity" in what and at which level of granularity? Isn't each unique individual already different with all others? Students of the same race can still be diverse individually in thoughts, ideas and opinions, while students of different races/backgounds can still be non-diverse in what they think although they look "diverse" in color.
How do Blacks, as opposed to Whites with higher test scores, contribute more to a better learning environment, esp in STEM subjects, than being among those higher scoring Whites who are very intellectually & culturally diverse among themselves? How could that even be determined? It's a cr𝜊ck.
Asians shouldn’t be punished for being so good at schools
Diversity by way of discrimination. This problem needs to be solved at the grade school level, and lowering standards for individual groups is not how you solve it. Helping some achieve and not others does not help that individual complete in the real world after college
I guess he is unqualified to be there….
The hell with diversity. I want the smartest.most hard working people to get into University. The next generation of planes, car, poor plants, etc. doesn't give a sh!t about the color of your skin or to whom you were born.
How can he decide on this when he doesn't even understand it?
Thomas (as usual) is being completely disingenuous. He knows EXACTLY what is meant by diversity. It's just that his own personal bias NOT to be seen as the beneficiary of a broader standard of inclusion, has made him desperate to fight this war to the detriment of others. He's an example of someone who ascended with the benefit of a ladder, and having gotten up, is eager to push the ladder down so that no one else can get up and diminish his achievement.
But isn’t everyone different than everyone else? I don’t get it either.
Diversity: pertains to race. It is not a diversity of views, it is not a diversity of language, it is
not a diversity of education, it is not a diversity of income. ITS ONLY A DIVERSITY OF RACE.
Therefore the push for diversity is the literal push that is based on race. ** IT IS RACISM.**
*Diversity: it is a euphemism for racism, literally.*
I would like to think that Justice Clarence Thomas needed the Plaintiff and the University to define their definition of Diversity. It's a bit like being Cross-examined.
Clarence is right, dems can’t redefine words and expect alignment
