Here you go, Wharfie. Justice Jackson (who can't even define what a woman is) is arguing for unequal treatment in order to counterbalance "race-linked disparities":

A footnote near the end of Jackson’s dissent went after the concurrence by Thomas, with the liberal justice accusing her colleague of demonstrating “an obsession with race consciousness that far outstrips my or UNC’s holistic understanding that race can be a factor that affects applicants’ unique life experiences.”

“Justice Thomas ignites too many more straw men to list, or fully extinguish, here,” Jackson wrote. “The takeaway is that those who demand that no one think about race (a classic pink-elephant paradox) refuse to see, much less solve for, the elephant in the room – the race-linked disparities that continue to impede achievement of our great Nation’s full potential.”

In her broader dissent, Jackson said that the argument made by the challengers that affirmative action programs are unfair “blinks both history and reality in ways too numerous to count.”

“But the response is simple: Our country has never been colorblind,” Jackson said.

*******

So we need race-based admissions in order to combat racism and make up for the fact that our country has never been colorblind.

In other words, protected minorities are "more equal" than others, according to Ketanji "What is a woman?" Jackson.
