[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard that Asian-American groups are already planning to celebrate the termination of AA.  They wished that SCOTUS would issue the opinion in May, the AAPI Heritage Month.  But no, SCOTUS won’t issue this landmark opinion until the end of the term in June.  They regard this as the most significant civil rights victory by Asian-Americans since US v. Wong Kim Ark (1898), which ruled that anyone born in the US is a US citizen according to the 14th Amendment.[/quote]

Most Asian Americans support AA, so your "celebration" thing is off base.[/quote]

No, most Asian Americans oppose any form of racial discrimination including AA.

You are incorrect. A large majority support AA.

Data will trump DCUM trolls every time. [/quote]

There was a big survey done by actual academics that showed the way you ask the question DRAMATICALLY affects responses. Even most blacks do not support affirmative action when asked, "Do you support giving advantages in college admissions to people of certain races?" Affirmative Action is a very cleverly chosen Karl-Rove-esque whitewashing of what the true program does. The majority of americans of all races are AGAINST racial preferences in college admissions[/quote]
+1 I posted the article about that question in the AAPI survey.

The question was phrased in such a way that it talked about "access" to education, not actual racial preference in college admissions. It was manipulative at best, deceitful at worst.

I don't know any Asian American who supports race based aa.  [b]SES based[/b], yes, but not race based.

You’re lying. Look at the backlash to the new TJ admissions process.[/quote]
I don't care about TJ. I don't live in VA.  And TJ is not college.[/quote]
