Vision and the End of Racial Preferences
Clegg, Roger
Academic Questions, v21 n3 p319-323 Sep 2008
Are we facing the end of racial preferences in America? Mr. Clegg thinks we probably are, and examines the role demographics, law, attraction, and vision may play in their demise. What makes preferences still attractive to so many people? Do most Americans share a vision that includes the continued use of racial preferences? Mr. Clegg offers a list of "E pluribus unum" features that "all Americans" must share to participate fully in the life of our ever-changing multiracial, multiethnic country.
