Despite the marginal success that anti-affirmative action groups have had at paring back the use of race in college admissions practices, affirmative action has remained largely in-tact as a tool to promote diversity on college campuses. But what might happen if “diversity”—the very thing that heretofore has protected affirmative action—was used instead as proof of its supposed unfairness? In this paper, focusing on the Students for Fair Admissions v Harvard case, we will employ Political Spectacle Theory to analyze the strategies and tactics used by the anti-affirmative action groups to distract from their real aims and to divert focus away from mitigating structural inequality.

尽管反平权行动小组在减少种族在大学录取做法中的使用方面取得了微弱的成功，但平权行动在很大程度上仍是完整无缺的，可以作为促进大学校园多元化的工具。但是，如果使用“多样性”（迄今为止保护了平权行动的那件事）代替其所谓的不公平证据，会发生什么呢？在本文中，针对“公平录取的学生诉哈佛案”，我们将运用“政治奇观”理论来分析反平权行动团体所使用的策略和策略，以分散他们的实际目标，并将重点转移到减轻结构性不平等上。
