Activists Harass Immigrant Parents Celebrating SCOTUS Ruling Against Anti-Asian Racism
The Federalist ^ | 07/03/2023 | ASRA Q. NOMANI

Posted on 07/03/2023 9:17:25 AM PDT by DFG

Thursday morning, as U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Roberts released a landmark decision, demanding Harvard University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill end anti-Asian racism in admissions, Yukong Mike Zhao, an immigrant from China, rushed to the steps of the Supreme Court, off First Street NE, as other Asian American immigrant parents descended on the capital to celebrate.

“Today marks a sweet but long-fought victory for the Asian community,” said Zhao, softly and passionately. All morning, WeChat and WhatsApp channels, popular with Asian Americans, had been exploding with messages in support of Students for Fair Admissions, the group that brought the lawsuits, including a simple exclamation: “!!!”

Before Zhao could get much further, a young activist cupped her hands over her mouth to shout him down, yelling: “Stop trying to be model minorities!”

Behind Zhao, we watched stunned, supporting the retiree with cheers, but that heckling was just the first salvo in an afternoon of taunting, intimidation, and slurs that activists fighting the Supreme Court decision hurled.

Hours later, I left the Supreme Court, drenched in shock and sweat, with a very important revelation from the experience: the aggression we faced is a harbinger of things to come. The Biden administration and Democratic special interest groups and activists are deeply committed to fighting the decision, and I left certain of this: they will put in place a new campaign that will be akin to the “Massive Resistance” of the 1950s when Southern Democrats refused to accept another critical U.S. Supreme Court civil rights decision, Brown v. Board of Education, also upholding the 14th Amendment and its guarantee of equality under the law, in that case ordering school boards to integrate public schools and end their racism against black students.

From the article:

“Later, I figured out who was behind the harassment we faced: a front group, “Defend Diversity,” whose website says it is “powered” by the NAACP National Legal Defense Fund”

And there it is.......can anyone name me just ONE race blacks DON’T have a grievance with? SMH

Yes, there it is for all who will see it. "Diversity" in racial matters means only blacks.

“Southern Democrats refused to accept another critical U.S. Supreme Court civil rights decision, Brown v. Board of Education...”

Those Southern Democrats that enforced segregation, and refused to comply with Brown v. Board were an abomination on our great nation.

We must never forgive their evil.

I don’t think the NAACP will mind if I fix that:

“Diversity” in racial matters means only coloreds.”

Why are there hardly any whites taking up their cause in this photo? How come when blacks protest, there are tons of whites among them supporting the cause of the blacks?

While AA should be overturned, an Asian immigrant plaintiff should have no standing in this case, they are not part of the so called “historic imbalance” that AA purported to address.
