For the record, Blacks and Asians were polling in favor of #187 throughout most of 1994. The L.A. Times' and the Democrats' efforts to demonize #187 as racist didn't get traction until late in the campaign, when leading Republicans like Jack Kemp, Bill Bennett, and George W. Bush started speaking against it.
In doing so, they missed an enormous opportunity to make inroads against the Democrats' plantation treatment of their Black constituents.
