“The bottom line is the (TJ) policy was adopted in order to, frankly, reduce the number of Asian Americans that were attending Thomas Jefferson,” Sen. Chap Petersen said. “And all you have to do is look at all the public comments that were being made at the time.”[/quote]

Really? I thought it was adopted to give kids whose families don't take out a second mortgage to invest in a prep a fair chance?[/quote]
Close, but minus the hyperbole, the original TJ bill was to give smart kids from families that don't prioritize education a better chance. The asian-american objection to it was that no one ever cared when TJ was mostly white. That's what made it racist from my perspective.

I think many white conservatives also dislike the dumbing down of education for social justice motivations. And honestly, that's what it was.

To all you white liberals out there, try thinking about how you can give up your own privileges to help poor minorities, instead of someone else's privileges. [/quote]
