“The entire point of the Equal Protection Clause is that treating someone differently because of their skin color is not like treating them differently because they are from a city or from a suburb, or because they play the violin poorly or well,”

It seems that Roberts is the one who focuses only on race. I think that universities take much more into consideration besides just the color of the skin. I’m sure that suburbs, cities, skills, personality, recommendations all come into play. The “conservatives” on the Court want to strip it all down to the racial aspect so they can take freedom away from universities. To be blunt, I think they consider affirmative action to be “woke”.
