Agree, I followed that case with eager anticipation last year, was not too pleased when they essentially just avoided the issue.
I think it all goes to the fear of the “yellow plague” dominating the upper crust of society. They are perfectly fine letting the Jews dominate because at the end, they are still white.[/quote]
I’m not sure it’s that really. I think it’s more of the path of least resistance. I think some of our politicians were gambling on the fact that asians would just take it and move on…What’s more surprising to me is which politicians it’s coming out of…. I mean some of these fine politicians sure seem to be doing a pretty fine job of setting back civil rights 50+years or so…..
The most hypocritical thing about this is at the same time UC regents are heavily recruiting foreign students from asia..Simply because the can pay the full tuition cost….The irony….[/quote]
And they were right, we did just take it and move on. And remember, thousands of AA students get discriminated by state schools and IVY league quotas every year, but it took a white girl to fight our fight to the Supreme Court.
I don’t think they look at us any differently. The 4th Gen Japanese or Cantonese applying to UC are just making their racial stats look bad, at least the Corrupt Chinese official’s kid has to pay the Max non-resident tuition.
The civil rights leaders never had AA’s interest in mind. This is why it annoys to no end that the few AA politicians end up kissing up to them as if all the colored folks need to stick together. Then when it is time to fight for Asian rights, these guys just throw us right under the bus by using terms like “disadvantaged minority” that essentially remove AA’s from that group, when we got plenty of disadvantaged folks around.
