We as Core-1 sincerely ask the $JUNO community to down-vote #prop16.
The text of the proposal was rushed. Parts do not reflect core principals that Juno holds dear. After a period of gathering more information and consulting with the community

we hope to craft a fresh proposal with more context and alternative ways to solve the genesis bug. A large majority is backing #prop16 but many in that majority do not agree with the radical step to forcefully manipulate the sanctity of a private address.

We are witnessing something historic with @JunoNetwork #Prop16. Over 50,000 people have voted (> 84.79% turnout), and a immense debate has erupted all over #CosmosTwitter.
As a member of @core1_official, many have been asking me to weigh in with my thoughts... 🧵

tl;dr we need better governance tools and processes.
Regardless of your take on it, #Prop16 should be a big wake up call.
Politics is coming to a blockchain near you, and no chain or DAO will be immune.
What's happened on Juno could happen on any chain (or DAO) with on-chain governance... a community can vote to change things.

1/ @KleomedesDAO was one of the first validators to vote YES on #Prop16.
Since then, new information has been brought to light by other validators and the $JUNO community.
However, our opinion on Prop 16 remains the same.

2/ We are not trying to solve a philosophical problem.
We are not trying to police what's right or wrong.
We are trying to solve a practical issue.

3/ As of now, there is a single wallet with 10% of JUNO's voting power.

Trump lost Orange County by 8.6 points in 2016 and by 9 points this year. On the surface, that’s not a sizable shift, but underneath a LOT changed.
This is how #OrangeCounty voted in 2020 compared to 2016. There is an undeniable realignment in many parts of the county.

The biggest shifts *away* from Trump: Whiter, wealthier communities of South County. See Lake Forest, Mission Viejo, and neighboring cities.
And major shift *towards* Trump: Latino and Asian communities in the west/central parts. See Santa Ana, Westminster, and Garden Grove.

For Democrats, the gradual leftward movement in the traditional GOP strongholds is encouraging. Seeing Mission Viejo turn blue is especially interesting. But Dems cannot ignore the seismic changes in Asian & Latino communities. Westminster went from D+15 to R+9, a 24-pt shift!
Race-based college admissions discriminate against Asian American children and have either no effect or actually benefit white students.
That is why rich white guys like this can support it to signal their virtue, while pushing down others not like themselves based on race.

Thomas Espenshade and Alexandria Radford favor race-based admissions. But their study showed that at competitive public universities, the racial bias AGAINST Asian applicants relative to whites was as strong as the bias in favor of black students.

Espenshade found an Asian American had to score MUCH higher than a white student on the ACT to have equal chance of admission.
But, as an advocate of race-based admissions, he denied this proved a racial bias against Asians because Asians might be inferior on “soft variables”.
