This Peter Kirsanow article concerning the recent Supreme Court decision on Racial Preferences in college admissions in the National Review Online brings up some obvious, but often ignored by products of such a policy.

Yes, we know that the Supreme Court permits selective colleges to award a 'plus' to black, Hispanic, and Native-American applicants. But just who, exactly, qualifies as black, Hispanic, or Native American?
Absurd Supreme Court decisions can produce seemingly absurd questions. But as silly as the above query sounds, it's one courts have wrestled with for much of our history, particularly during the Jim Crow era. Fortunately, those days are gone. But now the Grutter case has once again revived the distasteful relevance of racial identification.
