Andrew Hwang, who ran a janitorial-service business in Chicago, finally threw in the towel following an eight-year battle with the federal government that cost him $200,000 in legal fees and that arose because he had too many Koreans working for him. Hwang could not have been happy to read a USA Today report on diversity in the Supreme Court, the top of the legal system that destroyed his business. Of the 48 law clerks that Justice Antonin Scalia hired during his term, none were African-American or Hispanic, and all were white. Similarly, William H. Rehnquist's clerks were 99 percent white, and David Souter's were 94 percent white.
