Resumen

Este trabajo analiza la evolución de una pieza fundamental en la jurisprudencia de la Corte Suprema estadounidense sobre el principio de igualdad: la doctrina del escrutinio judicial estricto y su aplicación a las clasificaciones raciales. Desde los años noventa, la Corte Suprema somete cualquier clasificación racial, también aquellas diseñadas para beneficiar a colectivos históricamente discriminados, al más estricto escrutinio judicial. De acuerdo con un sector académico crítico, esta equiparación entre las acciones positivas y las formas tradicionales de discriminación resulta contraria a la lógica que dio origen a la revisión judicial por niveles. Una doctrina nacida para la protección reforzada de determinadas minorías se habría convertido en un instrumento al servicio de los intereses de la mayoría dominante.
