Before he helped kill it, a PBS doc on Clarence Thomas described how he blamed AA for not getting law firm offers he thought he deserved out of Yale.

Did he benefit from it?  The PBS special cited in the tweet doesn't express that, and, in fact, it grated on Thomas that people assumed he was there because of affirmative action and not based on merit and ability.





Seems rather logical that a man or woman who earned their way into a prestigious school through hard work and ability would resent being associated with people who would not have gotten in without being allowed lower qualifications by dint of their ethnicity.  Citing a source and not even understanding it isn't a good look for the original tweeter.
