(CLP) Should We Lose the Race?

Here is a short essay by the late Ronald Dworkin, the last one published in the New York Review of Books before his death. Consider as you read it whether you can detect how his analysis flows from his theory of legal process as interpretation and integrity. Consider also, in light of Moore's critique of Dworkin's theory for impracticality, whether applications like this might constitute a sort of hands-on defense.

“I probably would have gotten a better job offer had I gone to U.T.,” Ms. Fisher said.
Interestingly, she seems to accept certain forms of discrimination. We might expect Ms. Fisher to condemn such discriminatory tactics on the part of employers. Might this be a prelude to Ms. Fisher's suit against all employers of the world, or at least the ones who didn't hypothetically hire her.
