Like the dissenting opinions, it’s just crying before they’ve been hurt. They can’t wait and see whether institutions will magically become “racist” if they are not allowed to use affirmative action, they just assume they will because their worldview builds up from the assumption that everyone is as maximally racist as they can get away with unless reined in by big-daddy government, by relentless social pressure from activists, and so on.
We won’t have a clue how this changes anything, or whether it even does (colleges can probably find ways to consider race “unofficially” through context clues in personal statements, etc) for at least a few years. The entering class of 2024 would be the first admitted under the new standards.

I mean, they are. It's natural for them to assume that everyone else is the same.
