Probably the same way. Although the petitioners in his case were Asian, it is well known to the Court (being seated in DC) that the same legal issue is also involved in the long-running legal/political dispute over the naming of the Washington Redskins football team.

The Redskins also filed an amicus brief in this case, so even if they somehow managed to avoid hearing about it, they would have found out about it from this case.

The Redskins thing is hardly a regional issue unknown to the rest of the country (not that I disagree with your point).
