[quote=cahunter]I have learned this bill for some time and have emailed and called my state assembly representative to vote NO on this bill.

Ed Hernandez sponsored similar bill, SB 185, in 2011. It was passed in both state senate and assembly but vetoed by Governor Jerry Brown. This time around, he is hope that with the 2/3 majority power of democrats, this bill can be presented to California voters to decide in November election.

This is a bill of race discrimination to me. Its ridiculousness is best illustrated by a comment I read here: http://capoliticalnews.com/2014/02/02/most-racist-bill-in-california-history-sca-5-by-democrat-senator-hernandez-forces-racism-as-criteria-to-entrance-to-uc-schools-limit-womens-enrollment-as-well/#IDComment796169378

I am very sad by this proposal. I am Korean adopted by a Hispanic family. Looks like all my siblings will get a better chance to get to college but me
. How stupid this is! I love my adoption family but this makes me sick to stomach.[/quote]

“Hispanic” is a culture, not a race.

Because you were raised by a Hispanic family, you are culturally a Hispanic.

Nothing wrong with checking that Hispanic box with pride. 🙂
