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”. Image

The California legislature has now voted to strike these words from our state
constitution:

“The state shall not discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin.”

I’m speechless.
If you want to prevent this from being ratified by voters in November, San Diego Asian Americans for Equality is leading the fundraising campaign for the coalition opposing #ACA5.

To stop #ACA5, donate here:
