Meanwhile, many Asian American students on campus say they resent being made the face of the controversial suit.
"Edward Blum's claim is that affirmative action discriminates against Asian Americans, and that most Asian Americans are not supportive of affirmative action," Tatum said."What does it say that a significant portion of the Asian student groups at the school that he's suing are showing up in D.C. and protesting against [his case]?"
As a person who is both Black and Vietnamese, Tatum — who grew up in New Jersey — has lived with that complexity:"I was very frequently told in high school that, 'oh, like, Kylan is good at math because he's part Asian.'" The Supreme Court's rulings on the pair of affirmative action cases won't arrive until next year. But given the strong conservative majority currently sitting on the court, legal experts suggest there's little doubt about the outcome.
If SFFA and Blum were serious about promoting"fair admissions," Feingold said, they would have taken aim at the legacy preferences given to the children of alumni, which favor predominantly white and wealthy applicants. About 40% of its newest class of admitted students are white, compared to 56% “There are a lot of students who, personally, just deep down believe that the Supreme Court is going to strike it down — that it’s not going to be ruled as constitutional, that affirmative action is gonna be taken away," said Harvard senior and organizer Angie Shin."It's going to be really sad; it’s gonna be a lot."
LMAO How things have changed. The 60s radical student would NEVER supported any class being systemically denied admission due to race. The 20s crowd of woke Democrats are actual racists.
