Both Glenn and his colleague John McWhorter were, or suspected they were, in part hired for their positions in Ivy League universities due to affirmative action, and they have publicly discussed at great length how difficult it is to be thought of as such, even when they know how fully they now merit their status.
Justice Thomas too has wrestled with that slur on his career , so you are not stating anything original regarding Thomas in saying so. He has IMHO greatly justified his position long since. You talk only of how unqualified you thought he was when nominated - do you not see how far he has come and how powerful has been his original thinking since then?
