Law enforcements are the ones who have the most contact with minorities due to the decisions of racial profiling…

A different alternative to the view on the decisions of the Supreme Court is the Majoritarian Approach. This approach says that the decisions in court cases reflect the majority (white) in the United States and that the minority groups are underrepresented and do not receive the same benefits as the majority group does.

Just over a decade after the Civil Rights Act, preferential government policies were challenged in the courts. The case of Regents of the University of California v. Bakke (1978), which challenged use of racial quotas in admissions in California state medical schools, was the first important case in defining the limits of government preferential policies.
