The U.S. Supreme Court’s recent ruling to strike down race-based admissions policies at U.S. colleges—also referred to as affirmative action policies—shows that Americans should be treated based on their character and their personal responsibility, not their race, according to two advocates who praised the decision.

“I’m elated. There’s no other way of saying it, it’s a big decision,” Kenny Xu, a board member of Students for Fair Admissions, told American Thought Leaders in a recent interview.
