Instant reaction to the Supreme Court’s affirmative action decision in Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College (joined with another case from the University of North Carolina) was predictable, hysterical and mostly wrong. Conservatives praised the end of affirmative action and absolute insistence on colorblind admissions; progressives bemoaned what they expected to be a dramatic decrease in diversity at top universities and colleges. Neither side was willing to admit there might be less here than meets the eye.
