When a popular cartoon points to the unfair treatment of Asian Am students,
our message has reached the masses.
The words referred to in the astrid * are "Espenshade and Radford,
Princeton University Press", the source for the facts cited in the cartoon.
Good News 2: Lawsuit Against Harvard Started to Stop the Unfair Treatment
(a) The Hero Behind the Court Action -- Ed Blum
Ed Blum has fought against race-based laws all his life, with notable
success. He was the engine behind the "Fisher vs. Univ. of Texas". He got
the Supreme Court to rule that "strict scrutiny" must be used by courts to
decide whether a university is justified in using race-preference admissions
to achieve diversity. He is now tightening the screw.
He has recruited some very high caliber Asian Am. students as plaintiffs,
with 80-20's help. Blum's org., Students for Fair Admission, now takes
Harvard to court to see if Harvard can pass the "strict scrutiny" standard.
NAACP took this kind of incremental steps to eventually win EQUAL rights
for the blacks.
Note that the "Fisher vs. Univ. of Texas" fought for white and Asian
students. In the Harvard lawsuit, Mr. Blum fights for Asian Am. students
ONLY, perhaps because Asians are discriminated the most and therefore
represent the strongest legal argument.
Give some credit to 80-20 which argued that we are the most discriminated.
(b) The Substance of the Lawsuit
". . . The Harvard lawsuit alleges the university is engaging in a
campaign of invidious discrimination by strictly limiting the number of
Asian Americans it will admit each year and by engaging in racial balancing
year after year. These discriminatory policies in college admissions are
expressly forbidden by the Fourteenth Amendment and federal civil rights
laws."
"Students for Fair Admission's complaint highlights data and analysis
that strongly suggests that white, African-American, and Hispanic applicants
are given racial preferences over better qualified Asian-Americans applying
for admission to Harvard."

Commentary On Wealthy Asian and Asian Ams Donating to Harvard
Rich Asians are beginning to donate to public causes -- a good thing!
Elaine Chao's family donated $40 million to Harvard in 2012. Gerald Chan of
Hong Kong pledged $350 million to Harvard this year. Donating to Harvard,
a great university, is a good thing. But Harvard is not perfect. It was
well-known that Harvard designed admissions policies to limit the number of
Jewish students beginning in 1920's. It would be nice if the Asian BIG
donors to Harvard would publicly request it to re-examine its admissions
policies towards Asian students at the time of their giving. That'll make
them not only wealthy and generous but also wise and remaining connected to
the still discriminated Asian Americans.
