Essentially the majority will always try to use their raw number to suppress the minority, as Hispanics become California’s majority, they will also do their very best to suppress other minorities. I actually fear the new Hispanic majority more than I fear the old white majority as the Hispanic is going in with the idea that they are disadvantaged and need all of these extra rights.[/quote]
What extra rights are you talking about?
When Hispanics become the majority then won’t benefit from affirmative action anymore. This not about the person sponsoring the bill but the eventual end-result of policy.
As you pointed out, Hispanics enrollment has increased. I personally believe that we are seeing a shift in demographics with more urban professionals from Latin America sending their kids to UC.
As Hispanics increase to become the majority, by sheer numbers, there will be some thousands bright kids who have the grades it takes to enroll at UC.
The chart/data you provided shows that Hispanic enrollment, with an initial drop which makes perfect sense, increased since Prop 209.
Looking objectively at SCA5, it will benefit Blacks first, Hispanics somewhat, and Whites when they become a minority. Not good for Asians.[/quote]
As long as Hispanics are underrepresented compared to their proportion in the overall population, this admendment will be used to extract extra rights.
