@CindyWeinstein even if they hadn't AND it had always just been private discrimination, why is that ok?!! And why is it ok to institute de jure discrimination now?
It's fucking not, so the entire question is pointless and just displays further reason that we should start ignoring these SCOTUS decisions

You're missing the context and why she asked the question. It's not about whether it's OK or not OK, but rather it was referencing previous court decisions that analyzed discrimination claims in terms of de jure history.
She was giving the challenger an opportunity to prove discrimination using an existing legal framework for showing it.
It sure would have been nice for the article to give that context.
