If I’m prejudiced, how come I think this is an abomination? When will Asians and others similarly situated in the American snow globe finally wake up, the Dems will never win another election.

excerpt:

“Following opposition from Asian-American groups and conservative activists, California lawmakers killed a measure Monday that would have reversed a ban on affirmative action in college admissions.

Earlier this year, Democratic lawmakers in the state’s upper chamber passed an initiative (SCA 5) that would’ve let public university admissions officers consider race when selecting applicants, overturning parts of Proposition 209, the 1996 ballot measure that banned affirmative action in state institutions. The initiative, sponsored by State Senator Ed Hernandez (D-West Covina), aimed to help reverse the “precipitous drop in the percentage of Latino, African-American and Native American students at California public universities” since Prop 209 passed nearly two decades ago.”
