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”.

✅ Major supporters, opponents, & how much they’ve spent
✅ My voting recommendation & rationale

This one is a no brainer. Huge strides have been made in stem cell research over the past decade, and more funding is needed to continue that work. #YesOn14
Companies like Chevron and Disneyland sit on insanely valuable property, yet don’t pay property tax based on that land’s market value. These companies should pay their fair share, especially when that money will fund public schools. #YesOn15
