Not everything. You are particularly offensive; to reason, common sense and a sense of fair play, among other things.
The world really will be better off without you.
US Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia Is A Racist POS!

In my mind, I was pretty hot stuff. Only after I got to Yale and became cognizant of my classmates’ many accomplishments did I realize that the admissions committee had taken a substantial risk on me and that I had been extended special consideration.

QUOTAS ARE ILLEGAL AND ALWAYS HAVE BEEN YA RACIST.

According to the National Center for Education Statistics, 43% of black fourth-graders do one hour or more of homework per night, as do 45% of whites and 47% of Hispanics. Although Asian fourth-graders are more likely than any other group to study one or more hours per night (56% do so), the differences between whites, blacks and Hispanics are too small to explain performance differences, and certainly contradict the notion that blacks or Latinos devalue education relative to whites.
In fact, black and Hispanic fourth-graders are both more likely than whites that age to do more than one hour of homework, with 18% of Hispanics, 17% of blacks, but only 15% of whites putting in this amount of study time daily.
Likewise, and counteringcommonly held class biases, the poorest students (those from families with less than $5,000 in annual income) are actually the most likely to get substantial homework help from their parents, while those from families with incomes of $75,000 or more annually are the least likely to do so. Half of the poorest students work with their parents on lessons three or more times weekly, while only a third of the wealthiest students do.
Likewise, evidence indicates there is no substantial difference between white and black students in terms of whether their parents attend parent-teacher conferences or school meetings. Black parents and their children are also equally likely as their white counterparts to visit a library, art gallery, zoo, aquarium, museum or historic site, as well as a community or religious event—further countering the notion that black parents take less interest in providing educational opportunities for their kids.
Furthermore, and contrary to popular belief, three of four black children are read to by their parents when they are young, and black youth are equally or more likely than whites to be taught letters, numbers and words by their parents between the ages of three and five.
WRONG AGAIN, RACIST.

And 'Justice' Antonin Scalia Is STILL a flaming racist bag of shit on the floor of our highest court in the land.
To the best of my (fairly extensive, thanks to my grandfather) understanding of my family history and geology, I have exactly zero black blood in me; but I stand with them. Wrong is fucking wrong and our Federal Government has sold its legitimacy to the highest bidder at every level and it's despicable.
Even treasonous.

You mean you were paid well to march in Ferguson as a plant?
I know, you did every thing you could to stop these thugs from destroying their own kin's businesses and cities as they looted and burned the place down, right? All in the name of "justice" of course.
Jealous of Scalia because he has the balls to say what everyone knows is spot on?

When you read his opinions, it's very interesting. I had to read them when taking Constitution Law, and sometimes I'd sit there and be like, "It makes total sense, I can see where he's coming from, and I fucking hate him for making me agree with him when I know I don't want to." Lol.

LOL, but even if he's a great guy everywhere else, his racism is still inexcusable.
But then, it must be asked whether he's just playing a particularly egregious devil's advocate? I'm not the guy who'd know, I don't do much studying on constitutional law these days.

I completely agree with you, which is why I said despite his brilliance I think he's a piece of shit. There are a few of his opinions I can see where he's coming from and it completely makes sense. The other ones I sit there and go, "Holy shit, does this guy believe it's like 1820 still?"
He's not playing an egregious devil's advocate either, he's just very conservative and is an originalist and textualist. So he believes that the Constitution is fixed at the time of enactment, and there shouldn't be further interpretation even regardless of how different society has changed. As a textualist he believes that the ordinary meaning should govern the interpretation (so what is written is the literal meaning, not the intent it was passed or the problem that it's suppose to remedy, what is written is the end of it).

Yep, "it is what it is": https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2015/02/13/investigation-finds-ut-austin-president-influenced-admissions-decisions
An investigation of the University of Texas at Austin finds the president likely swayed admissions decisions to aid well-connected applicants. Everybody does it, President Bill Powers said.

University of Texas at Austin President Bill Powers overruled his staff to admit well-connected students, according to an independent investigation released Thursday.
Powers’s philosophy could end up providing “affirmative action for the advantaged,” according to the report, which looked into admissions practices at one of the nation's largest and most prominent public universities. Investigators found UT-Austin, at Powers’s behest, may have given preferential admission to some students with moneyed ties or politically influential backers.
I'm not claiming that UTex is different from any other major university in relaxing standards for children of people with undue influence. But I do say that this claim of "tough and stringent standards. If you can't cut it, you don't get in." is bullshit.

It happened to me. My friend was a wealthy scion and I was born firmly middle class. Guess who got the invitation to the special scholars program, in spite of who got better grades.
College taught me a lot about life in these 'United' states...
