80-20 Q&A already predicted this :)
问:是谁终结了SCA 5?
答:是*你*,加州的亚裔,尤其是华裔,终结了SCA 5。
那些亲民主党的报纸一个劲地想让你相信是民主党大佬
或是那三个反悔的华裔参议员“封杀”了SCA 5。
那些共和党的死忠们肯定也想让你相信是共和党大佬显了神通。
请记住,是*你*终结了SCA 5,因为两党都基于即将到来的
选举形势,不得不出手帮助亚裔社区结束SCA 5。
民主党试图避免 (因失去亚裔选民)选举残败;而共和党
也想(借箸亚裔选民)把几个民主党现任拉下马。

3。 用所有工具(email, wechat, FB, TW, BBS) 告诉所有朋友这三条。

Democrats claim to be a multi-ethnic "coalition of the ascendant," but
identity politics has inherent contradictions. Witness the victory this week
by three liberal Asian-American lawmakers in blocking Sacramento's
Democratic supermajority from trying to overturn California's ban on racial
preferences (Prop. 209).
In January, Democratic state senators voted unanimously with little debate
to place a constitutional amendment gutting Prop. 209 on the November ballot
, which requires a two-thirds vote of both legislative chambers. The
Assembly was poised to consider the amendment this month when Democratic
Senators Ted Lieu of Torrance, Carol Liu of Pasadena and Leland Yee of San
Francisco objected.
"In the past few weeks, we have heard from thousands of people throughout
California voicing their concerns about the potential impacts," the senators
wrote Assembly Speaker John Perez last week, adding that "as lifelong
advocates for the Asian-American and other communities, we would never
support a policy that we believed would negatively impact our children."
Political Diary editor Jason Riley explains why Asian-American lawmakers
blocked attempts to restore racial preferences in college admissions. Photo

Their concerns are well founded. In 1996, California voters approved Prop.
209 to block public institutions, notably state universities, from
discriminating by race. Asian-American freshman enrollment at the University
of California's 10-flagship universities has since climbed to 40.2% from 36
.6% and to 47% from 39.7% at Berkeley.
Admissions rates for Asian Americans relative to other minority groups have
also soared. In 1996, Asian Americans were about two-thirds as likely to get
into Berkeley as blacks or Hispanics, not controlling for other factors.
Today Asian Americans stand a 50% better shot of being admitted. Prop. 209's
ban on racial preferences has helped Asian Americans by forcing admissions
officers to focus on such academic qualifications as high-school grades and
test scores.
Liberals argue that race-based admissions are necessary to increase black
and Hispanic representation, but minority enrollment has increased since
1996 at the University of California. Hispanics now make up 28.1% of the UC
system's freshman class, up from 13.8% in 1996, while black enrollment has
ticked up to 4% from 3.8%.
Prop. 209 has shown that there are other ways to increase black and Hispanic
enrollment than racial preferences. For instance, the University of
California grants the top 9% of students in each high-school class automatic
admission, though not necessarily to their first school choice. Blacks and
Hispanics are now more likely to enroll at lower-tier campuses, but they
graduate at higher rates.
Democratic leaders say they are merely delaying the referendum for
discussion, but they know that pushing for Prop. 209's repeal risks
alienating the growing block of Asian-American voters in the same way
Republicans have alienated Hispanics. Asian Americans were 11% of California
voters in 2012 compared to 6% in 2008, and nearly 80% of them voted for
President Obama.
Prop. 209 has been upheld by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and the
California Supreme Court. But the U.S. Supreme Court will soon rule on
Michigan's Prop. 2, which is based on Prop. 209, and liberals hope this will
provide grounds for a new lawsuit to overturn California's ban on racial
preferences. Note to Asian Americans: Democratic Attorney General Kamala
Harris and Governor Jerry Brown have both argued for its repeal.

Congratulations!
本来希望渺茫的,居然暂时搁置了!
赞一个众志成城。
赞那些敢于挺身而出包围议员,敲打议员的。
街头政治上要向老黑老莫学。没事去议员office前散散步。
上层路线学老印,多来些竞选。

该文最后一句:

民主党企图要repeal加州prop 209, 意思就是重新设立Afirmative action
