How did people respond to the Supreme Court's interpretation of affirmative action in Regents v. Bakke?

The case was upheld as that which everybody won, mainly because Bakke was admitted to medical college and the affirmative action was maintained and enhanced by the ruling. the plural ruling held that race would be an issue in as long as it was not the overriding factor, and that the equal protection act should be used to permeate racial superiority.
