A couple of months ago, when Ricci and Sonia Sotomayor were all over the news, Steve Sailer wrote a ton of articles about the case/nomination, and about AA and “disparate impact” in general. If you are new to the topic, or if you want to learn more, his writings are a great place to start. Sailer has a sharp mind and a sharper wit, and manages to demolish the arguments of quota-supporters. Here are some of his articles that you should check out:
