Abstract

Rodrigo seeks out his mentor and straight man to discuss a student skit he directed at his law school that landed him in some trouble with the administration The professor responds sympathetically and the two discuss the emerging colorblind school of jurisprudence that tries to treat social problems including race under neutral colorblind principles They agree that this approach is unlikely to bring much success in improving the fortunes of poor people of color and analyze why this is so They also posit a more promising approach centered around equality of results rather than that of opportunity
