Original Note:
The paraphrase in parentheses is incorrect. His full quote shows "but for them" refers to equal employment opportunity laws, not affirmative action. https://www.nationalreview.com/2022/10/an-old-myth-about-justice-thomas-and-affirmative-action/ In a 1995 interview with the LA Times Thomas "bitterly rejected the idea that he benefited from affirmative action." https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2007-mar-03-na-thomas3-story.html
