Subject: A Powerful Fax to CA Assembly Members
To: kmz...@gmail.com
". . .they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but
the content of their character." - Dr. Martin L. King. Read the fax, shown below, sent to CA AsAm Assembly Members by Dr.
Haibo Huang. It is reasoned, full of facts and yet emotionally stirring.
It’ll make your blood boil. Huang is an advisor to 80-20 PAC. SB "Dear AsAm Legislators in the California Assembly, Please vote NO to SCA5 in the Assembly. The senate passing of SCA5 with the support of all three AsAm senators
had sent shock waves through the AsAm community across the nation,
turning ordinary citizens into an army of political activists. . . . Do NOT underestimate the resolve of ordinary people. The day of
reckoning will come this November. As a California resident, I will join in
hand with millions across the nation, and with the AsAm voters in your
districts, to make sure the AsAm politicians are accountable to their
constituents. The days, when AsAm politicians can take the money and
the votes from their community, and then do whatever that suit their
personal ambitions, are over. We will see to it that such politicians be
defeated in the next election cycle. If the Democratic Party leadership doesn’t bent on pushing forward SCA5,
they will lose their Super Majority in the California legislature. The
recent mayoral election in the City of San Diego will serve as a warning: a
Republican candidate prevailed in an overwhelmingly Democrat city. SCA5 is a "Yellow Peril Act", a 21st century version of the "Chinese
Exclusion Act of 1882", aimed specifically to impose a quota-like ceiling on
the AsAm students. . . . Therefore, there can be no illusion, no matter
how SCA5 is sugar-coated, that it is a bill aimed squarely to limit the AsAm
enrollment through a reverse “racial preference” treatment, under an
argument that "the college enrollment should reflect the population".
Fortunately, such a "proportional representation" argument has been
consistently rejected by the US Supreme Court in all precedent cases to be
in violation of the "Equal Protection Clause" of the 14th Amendment of the
United States Constitution. . . . . SCA5 cannot hide under the disguise of "equal opportunity". In fact it is
the antithesis of "equal opportunity" because it demands "equal outcomes"
despite of "unequal qualifications and efforts". It is Communism in
essence because all resources are to be divided equally, depriving the
citizenry of any incentive to excel, dragging down the US competitiveness
in the long run. . . . . Rewarding or penalize an individual based on
his/her skin color is morally repugnant. . . . With your help, we shall
overcome. Thank you for your attention. Dr. Haibo Huang A deeply concerned California resident. Click here to read the complete fax.

Kemin and All:
Thanks for sharing. What can we do as non-CA residents?
I had mixed and often shifting view on AA. I often wonder if I should give graduate students from under-represented groups easy grades or why we do not fight to having more Asian football players in NFL games. The link below is an excellent and rational article that I found very helpful. In summary, I have come to view all AA at upper levels a form of racial discrimination.
