The appropriateness of racial considerations should not depend on the context of the situation. As the Golden Rule states: treat others how you want to be treated. This is America, the land of the free. We are all to be treated equally and nobody should be discriminated against based on what their racial background is. Abigail Fisher simply just wants to attend the University of Texas. Being a United States citizen, she is allowed to have the right to choose where she wants to go. Being denied acceptance because her race is not diverse enough for the university is unconstitutional.
There should be no specific way to treat situations like these because there should not even be any situation like this one. Just because a university would like a more diverse student population does not give that university the right to deny acceptance to anyone because of their racial background. As long as somebody is a United States citizen, it does not matter what their race is; they still have the same rights as every other citizen of this country. Denying somebody acceptance into a university of their choice because of their racial background, even if they meet all of the qualifications, is unjust.
