In the Affirmative Action cases before the Supreme Court, the conservative Students For Fair Admissions (SFFA) - led by Ed Blum - is using the Asian Americans to keep URMs marginalized.

50% of Asian Americans students start in community college?

90% of Asian Americans in CA start in community college or for profit colleges?

Hmm.

Far cry from the focus on elite colleges like Harvard.

You aren’t quoting correctly. 90% don’t start in CC OR for profit. Here is the actual quote-
“. In California, home to the country’s largest AAPI population and a 26-year ban on affirmative action, the vast majority of Asian Americans – 90% – begin college in one of California’s public community colleges or four-year universities”.

Asians are vastly over represented in most of the UC’s.

That sounds odd to me. I don't know any Asian who supports AA, myself included.

I am Korean American and i do not know any Korean American supporting AA. In Fact, many are angry about it.

Over 30 AAPI groups filed amicus brief(s) with Harvard and UNC

"The Advancing Justice affiliation with pro bono counsel, Ballard Spahr,submitted a separate amicus brief joined by 37 Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) civil rights groups, advocacy organizations, professionals, and student organizations in support of race-conscious admissions programs that improve equal access to educational opportunities for all."

"For centuries, communities of color, including Asian Americans, have struggled against racial discrimination and faced systemic barriers to education, employment, and immigration, among other challenges,” said John C. Yang, President and Executive Director of Advancing Justice – AAJC. “Race, ethnicity, and our lived experiences are integral parts of our personal story and collective history. Holistic admissions ensures all students have the opportunity to share their whole story in addition to their academic achievements.”

Thankfully, the Asian American community is not a monolith.
