[quote=Anonymous][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.

[b]Dems may not want to make this a will they want to die on[/b].[/quote]

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.

I'm not referring to just CA. You know that there are other blue states, too, right? And some purple states that may turn blue if Dems keep picking fights for things that most of their constituents don't care about so much.[/quote]
