Ultimately, the effects are influenced by how these different stakeholders interpret and implement affirmative action measures in various contexts.
Regents of the University of California v. Bakke
Democratic views on affirmative action vary, but most Democrats support it as a means to promote equality and diversity. They believe that affirmative action is necessary to address historical disadvantages faced by marginalized groups, and it helps to create a more inclusive and equitable society. Democrats generally argue that affirmative action policies should be implemented to ensure equal opportunities in education, employment, and other areas.

In Bakke v Regents of the University of California, Alan Bakke, who had applied to the University and been rejected, sued the Regents claiming that his civil rights as a white had been denied by the University's policy of affirmative action for non--white applicants. Affirmative action, he argued, violated the Civil RIghts Act of 1964, which forbids racial discrimination by the federal government or any program (such as a state university) that receives federal funding. The Supreme Court held that affirmative action was constitutionally allowed so long as race was only one of several factors taken into account by admissions officers, but that strict quotas that could apply regardless of qualifications violated the law.
Recent Supreme Court rulings have upheld the use of affirmative action programs in schools but have also imposed limitations on their implementation, such as emphasizing that race cannot be the decisive factor in admissions decisions. The rulings aim to strike a balance between promoting diversity and ensuring that the programs are narrowly tailored and do not result in quotas or discrimination against other groups.
