[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If affirmative action is banned, many students who represent the incredible diversity of Asia-Pacific nations and cultures will no longer have a URM hook (e.g., Hmong students). It's really self-defeating. [/quote]

True.  Many Asian-Pacific organizations oppose the lawsuit. And have indeed filed amici briefs in opposition. [/quote]
Prop 209 and 16 in CA shows that many organizations are out of touch with individuals. Majority of Hispanics and Asian Americans there support a ban on affirmative action.

Don't be silly. In terms of college admissions- topic at hand- CA already banned AA AND the main public colleges are primarily test blind, so it really doesn't matter what they think about AA in that state anymore. In terms of politics ( you referred to Dems), CA is solid blue and will remain that way because of the same Hispanics and Asian Americans.
