Of course he doesn’t
This freaking guy is on the SUPREME court,..and he says “I have no clue what diversity means”,….you have GOT to be kidding me.
Did you listen to a word he said afterwards? All you read is the headline and run with it. If I have to explain it to you, you really are brainwashed by the lamestream media
Definitions change from person to person. Asking for someone to define a buzz word is important for communication
🤔”diversity” among the human species is what the ether is to the universe.
Yes…Justice Thomas asked all 3 attorneys for UNC to
“…explain how racial diversity benefits the educational experience students receive.”
Perhaps he’s forgotten the
bachelor’s and law degrees…that are ON DISPLAY IN HIS OFFICE.
How did you benefit, your honor?
Would you be on this or any court if you had been denied the opportunity to simply apply to a university? Would you have the car you drive? The house? Would your socks be the $75 Polo or 3 pair for $1.99 at the 99¢ store?
BTW, I know you’re GOP all the way, but…the Right are homogenized in their ideology. They will use you to suck voters away from the left and still regard you as…less.
For Justices Kavanaugh, Barrett & Gorsuch;
Lying under oath is not OK because you did it for Jesus. All 3 of you perjured yourselves during your respective confirmation hearings.
It’s time you show some real honor.
Admit it. Publicly.

Your a supreme justice and you can’t define diversity?
Mathematically, how do you define diversity? Go ahead.
You been in your position knowing the BS that you went through to get in your position is what diversity is
Diversity is a buzzword to justify picking someone less qualified.
Smart man
He asking what it means to be diverse because words like diversity, inclusion, etc. have become woke.
A Supreme Court justice that has no idea what diversity means 🤡
Well..I mean, we have one that doesn’t know what a woman is.
Nor should he have a clue. There are no laws on diversity and he studies actual law..he can tell u about discrimination on the other hand. That law does exist.
Hilarious when it’s characterized as deeper and richer. Meaningless rhetoric.
Way to cut out Thomas’ response to this non-answer.
Just wow… 🙄
This fool used it and now wants to keep others from the same opportunity. Hell awaits for that buck dancing fool. He never is going to the bbq again.
If I could be paid to say a whole lotta nothing, I’d never try to make any sense in life.
As has been brought out, all manner of workplaces and professions are striving for wide diversity. Healthcare, education, finance, insurance etc.
I agree, Thomas has no clue what the Constitution means or how to apply it.
Mathematically, how do you define diversity? Go ahead.
Diversity is only an excuse. Mathematically, the maximum diversity is reached when each race occupies the same number of seats in a student body. I don’t think that is what you wanted.
Finally a big win for USA!
