I think in honor of this bill, I’ll change my kid’s last name to Hernandez, just to make a mockery of this ridiculous “law”….
Please sign the petition, and get your significant other and all of your family members and relatives to sign… I wonder if on the application, you check the Hispanic box. Would they be able to tell? Maybe that’s one way around it. You can very well have a Chinese dad and a Mexican mom and you just happen to identify yourself more with your Hispanic heritage. That way, you don’t have to go through the hassle of changing your name :-).[/quote]
Hey, there’s a little known community of Cantonese immigrants in Mexicali, these immigrants to the US are considered “Hispanics.” I have had some encounters with them throughout the years, to see these guys speaking Spanish and needing Spanish translators is a real trip.
I think my daughter just became one of these Hispanic Cantonese from Mexicali… hehe[/quote]
Lol.. The Congressman should have just passed a law requiring every asian applicant to change their last name, and then all the sudden, problem solved.
FWIW: 3 senator some of you folks should know about..
Some of you folks in their districts better be doing everything you can to make sure these 3 punks lose their jobs next election…. all voted yes because…well let’s not go there…Make sure their mistake will be a career ending move…permanently…
(Ted Lieu, you are definitely going down for this. You’re district includes Beverly Hills, Redondo Beach, Palos Verdes, Manhattan Beach, West Hollywood, Torrance, Pacific Palisades, Venice, Brentwood…Dumbass..Good luck getting any backing there…. See Ya!)
…Even if they now are back-peddling.. Because of the shit storm they are now getting…
Not that I advocate preferential treatment of any race or ethnicity. But they definitely deserve to lose their jobs for voting something that directly attacks any one specific ethnicity…
More time needed to study impacts, reach out to affected communities
SACRAMENTO – Sens. Ted Lieu, D-Redondo Beach; Leland Yee, D-San Francisco/San Mateo; and Carol Liu, D- La Cañada/Flintridge) have called upon Sen. Ed Hernandez, D-West Covina, to hold SCA 5 to provide more time to discuss the potential impacts the bill will have on the Chinese, Asian Pacific Islander and other affected communities. Yee, Lieu and Liu released the following joint statement:
“As lifelong advocates for the Chinese American and other API communities, we would never support a policy that we believed would negatively impact our children. Prior to this vote, we heard no opposition to this bill. However, in the past few weeks, we have heard from thousands of people throughout California concerned about SCA 5. As a result, we have asked Sen. Hernandez to hold SCA 5 until he has an opportunity to meet with affected communities and attempt to build a consensus.”
SCA 5 is authored by Hernandez. If passed, the bill would place an initiative on the November Ballot that would remove all references to public education from Proposition 209, which amended the state constitution to prohibit state government institutions from considering race, sex or ethnicity in the areas of public employment, public contracting or public education.
