This Asian American Success Story Applauds Supreme Court Affirmative Action Ruling

Supreme Court affirmative action ruling proves

There is nothing more un-American than to be limited in your potential because of your ethnic background or the color of your skin. The Supreme Court’s decision announced June 29, in the consolidated cases of Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. (SFFA) v. Harvard and University of North Carolina is a victory for the American Dream and students across the country.

For 40 years, American colleges and universities have stacked the deck against Asian Americans in the name of diversity. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race.

That hasn’t stopped prominent colleges and universities from using race and ethnicity to deny admission to unfavored minorities. Affirmative action’s discriminatory nature has been deeply impactful to the approximately 22 million Asian Americans who deserve equal opportunities to pursue their education. When this case was accepted by the court, Harvard President Lawrence Bacow issued a statement accusing the plaintiffs of political motivations. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Applauding is nice, but voting Constitutionally conservative is preferred. Hope they don’t forget.

Weird, thought admissions discrimination ended in the 90s with Hopwood v. Texas when the University of Texas Austin discriminated against white law school applicants by admitting minorities with lower scores just to get their diversity numbers up.

Oh, yeah, because that was whitey getting discriminated against.

Asian Americans are smart enough that they don’t need “affirmative action” to succeed.

“This isn’t 1950’s America, no one is keeping anyone down except the Democratic party with their nonsense beliefs.”

Correct- the old lying canard has no basis in reality. We’re sick of it too. Enough!
