A crucial supreme Court Ruling on Affirmative Action could come tomorrow, as colleges and universities grapple with the possibility that race might no longer be a factor in admissions. The Central Question being decided this time is should Affirmative Action continue forever In The Name Of diversity, and are the gains achieved worth the harms allegedly inflicted on Asian American students . This is the most important civil Rights Case of our era. I dont think its an overstatement to say theyre freaking out right now. One admissions official told me, some colleges are so worried about being sued in the wake of this decision that theyre thinking about scrubbing racial and ethnic data from their websites. There has to be some discrimination here. There has to be something against Asian Americans specifically. This case is going to be something more than just about admissions. The notion that noticing race is per se unconstitutional could be devastating for a number of areas of the law. And i think its very frustrating that Asian Americans are a face of this. This litigation started back in 2014. At issue is harvards Admissions Policy and the role that race plays in determining who gets in to one of the most selective elite institutions of higher education in the world. Harvard. Harvard. This is harvard, the apex of academia for america. It is the place where the j. P. Morgans, the henry thoreaus, the Franklin Roosevelts and the William Hearsts prepared themselves to become the nations leaders in industry, government, and literature. Fight fiercely, harvard fight, fight, fight demonstrate to them our skill albeit they possess the might nonetheless, we have the will how we will. I remember i was telling my dad. I was like, hey, i want to go to harvard. I think i was like five at that time. So you went to harvard, right . What about toofer . Is he any good . I dont know if hes mentioned this to you 100 times, but he went to harvard. Harvard will save me. Harvard will save me. My passion is obviously in politics. And to me, the way to attain it, well, i guess the best way to attain it, is to attend an Ivy League institution. Yangping yang and susan, i just want you to know that your sons out late tonight because hes hanging out with me, a president ial candidate. Im so impressed with him. In total, i probably applied to around 40 colleges. So i applied to all of the Ivy Leagues minus cornell, because cornell was more Math And Science heavy. Stanford, caltech, mit. All the top ranking ucs. Pomona, williams. Whats the second ranked school . Amherst. It was stressful. And then the last decision that i opened was harvard. Big one. So weird. This just doesnt feel real. Okay, so im about to open my harvard early action decision. All right. Do you want me to look . No. I knew that with my statistics, i had a good shot. I started my own company. [michael] 4. 67 gpa. Perfect act score. My sat was 2230. [calvin] i also organized Climate Protests here in new york city, as well as worldwide. [michael] first place in the u. S. Open music competition. You know, in speech and debate, i had multiple first places or finalist awards. I sang for obamas inauguration. [calvin] im on the varsity rugby team. I was on the Varsity Swim Team as well. Among my Asian American peers, we recognize that our race may put us at a disadvantage. Some of my friends who are Mixed Race or Asian American plus white or Asian American plus something else. Under applications, they tended to choose the other race, not Asian American. [screams of excitement] waitlisted at harvard. Ok, should we take a break . I feel like. Its up to you, yeah. I just saw rejection after rejection after rejection after rejection. I really thought i had a good shot. And then i didnt get in. I felt like my future was slipping away from my hands. When i was in that anger phase, a large part of it was me going online and looking how students reacted. Dear kevin, im sorvery sorry. All four years for this. [soft piano music] i got waitlisted. And thats when i noticed one common theme they were Asian American. So then thats when i thought oh, what if me being Asian American was the problem . Yeah, and then a lot of the kids who have near perfect sats and near Perfect Gpas and amazing extracurricular activities who are asian in my school, they dont, they dont. I mean, they end up in great schools, but not Ivy League. Thats why i wanted to file a lawsuit. Thats when my dad stopped me. Hes like, wait, first you know how much a Lawsuit Costs . Thats when my dad decided, you know, this is a big enough issue to where we should gather asian parents to try and form a coalition to really help address this issue and put this issue to the forefront. As a child growing up, my father told me that if you work hard, youll be able to succeed. What do we know that as . We know that as the american dream. [suspenseful music] good Evening And Welcome to Tucker Carlson tonight. Heres an interesting and potentially significant story. Several Asian American groups are saying theyre being punished for their success. A Group Called Students for fair admissions is suing Harvard University for discrimination. My name is michael wang. I was one of the first students to come to the forefront of Media Attention when it comes to racial discrimination, especially against Asian Americans and Affirmative Action. My name is calvin yang, and im a plaintiff in the Sffa Versus Harvard case. The Trump Administration siding with Asian American students claiming racial discrimination against Harvard University. At issue is whether the university imposes a cap on the number of qualified Asian American students that it admits. But is it really just an attempt to set back the entire notion of Affirmative Action . I was a little confused in the beginning. I remember asking a colleague whos a lawyer i dont understand this, because what does this have to do with Affirmative Action . And he said, well, if you read the complaint, the remedy that they were asking for was an end to considering race in College Admissions. My name is Natasha Warikoo and i am professor of sociology at tufts university, and ive written on College Admissions and Affirmative Action. Affirmative action is a policy by which when theres a competitive process and there are more people than there are slots, whether its College Admissions or Government Contracts or hiring, an organization considers membership in an underrepresented group when making selection decisions. This is a relative rarity, a lawsuit about alleging that Asian Americans are discriminated against and that Affirmative Action discriminates against them. Normally, you know, the lawsuits allege that whites are injured by Affirmative Action policies. So from Harvard Square to the cambridge common, these students are marching. They say affirmative Action And Diversity in admissions is under attack, and theyre letting their voices be heard. My name is cecilia nunez. I graduated harvard class of 2020. My name is sally chen. I graduated from Harvard College in 2019. My name is Margaret M. Chin. I graduated Harvard College in 1984. Currently, im a professor of sociology at hunter college. We are more than our scores. [sally] i didnt really want to get involved at first. I was, like, scared. But our silence was complicit. Right . Especially to african american and latinx students on campus. You know do you think your race helped you get in, or do you think it was because you got to check two boxes . This question of did you get in just because of your race came up a lot, and people feel very comfortable just asking you that. Race cannot be removed from the Admissions Process, because harvard is made great by its students and its students are made great by diversity. We belong here. And Affirmative Action is a right that we have. I was pretty angry. So while we affirm how important diversity is, if you get rid of Affirmative Action, youre actually taking away racial justice. Youre actually trying to bring back. Can i say the word . Segregation. Affirmative action is under attack. What do we do . Stand up, fight back im here to Stand Up and defend Affirmative Action, as its under threat by Edward Blum and the department of justice. I am not sure what the outcome is going to be, but im really proud of my community and all the harvard students for coming out today. Hey, hey, ho, ho, Edward Blum has got to go. Hey, hey, ho, ho, Edward Blum has got to go. Hey, hey, ho, ho. Very quickly here, Edward Blum is the founder of sffa. Who is he and why . Whats his story here . Edward blum, a Broker And Middleman for disgruntled white people. An extremist some might say, who has weaponized communities of color against each other. A couple of his donors, theyre wealthy, very conservative foundations. Despite not being a lawyer, blum has been behind some of the most highprofile Supreme Court cases of the last decade, including what seems like his oneman mission to end Affirmative Action in the United States as we know it. The mission of students for fair admissions is to eliminate the use of Race And Ethnicity in College Admissions. And we can file various lawsuits that we think will dovetail and eventually meet the goals of eliminating Race And Ethnicity. I grew up in a Post World War ii jewish household. When i was in college back in 1969, i considered myself an antiwar liberal, just as my mom and dad. On many issues, i find myself to the left of center. On other issues, i find myself to the right of center. But when it comes to Race And Ethnicity in College Admissions, im not sure there really is a delineation between left and right. All in all, beginning with the texas case, out of the 30 lawsuits, about 30 lawsuits, six of them have gone up to the Supreme Court. Hopefully, the Harvard Case will be the seventh case. Patience, patience. None of these happened overnight. Thanks for tolerating me through all of that. Its been a busy 40 years. Chase really knows how to put the hart in your local community.

[crowd applauding] join the millions of people taking back their privacy harvard, we condemn you for your shameless slandering and the propagating unfounded racial stereotypes that Asian Americans are only good at taking tests. Face your own racism and dishonesty, harvard, instead of keeping slandering us. You cannot tell us apart because of your own ignorance, your own bigotry, your own cluelessness. Today we have a powerful array of speakers lined up. First, let me introduce you to our next speaker, mr. Yukong zhao. Asian americans have held numerous protests. They never got mentioned in Mainstream Media until in 2014. Edward blum has filed a litigation on behalf of Asian Americans, against racial discrimination. Now, Mainstream Media are indeed talking about Asian Americans. That is a fresh, shocking sight. [crowd cheering] im yenta the matchmaker out of fiddler on the roof. I find plaintiffs, i find lawyers, and i put them together. [natasha] i was doing research and i kept getting these ads. Do you feel like you were discriminated against in College Admissions . And there would be a sort of forlornlooking Asian American person in the picture. I needed plaintiffs. I needed asian plaintiffs. [michael] so i reached out to him by email, wanting to learn more from him. [calvin] i found the website. And then im like, mr. Blum, im not okay with this. Hes like, calvin, i read your file. Youre an excellent kid. Lets talk. Hes like, im starting an Organization Called Students for fair admissions, sffa, the current organization filing the lawsuit against harvard. Im compiling a number of students who feel like theyre being discriminated against, but they dont want to appear in front of a camera. They dont want their names publicized in fear that these colleges will retaliate against them. And he told me, like, i want you to be a spokesperson for these students. Michael wang did everything he could to get into harvard. [michael] had i been african american or latino, i might have got into more schools that im not even sure myself. Its a sad irony that there is this white man who doesnt seem to really care that much about Asian Americans spearheading this effort. Good luck tomorrow. A great thing you are doing. What a great thing. Thank you. Good luck tomorrow. Thank you. Thank you. Good luck. Thank you. [car horn blares] [seagulls cawing] today, Harvard Universitys Admission Practices go on trial. The suit has forced harvard to release six years of student data. There is gonna be a battle of two economists and it might be this showdown on the factual side. One packed courtroom, not even enough. A second Overflow Courtroom had to be opened. Hi. Im jeannie, jeannie suk gersen. Nice to meet you. So good to meet you. Good to meet you. Can you walk us through this lawsuit, explain exactly whats sort of at stake here . Well, the lawsuit takes place under a law called title six of the civil Rights Act. My name is jeannie suk gersen, and i am a professor of law at harvard Law School. As a person of color in elite institutions, i could see that Asian Americans were going to become a bigger part of the story than they previously had been. And then in 2014, when the lawsuit against harvard, my own university, was filed, i was watching it very closely. And then i wrote about it for the first time in 2017. Is this the Harvard Case . Go get em. Discrimination is bad. Sure is. [soft footsteps, chair squeaks] [judge bangs gavel] [adam] your honor, Adam Mortara for students for fair admissions. The evidence will show and allow the court to test the proposition whether harvard is really treating everyone as a whole person, instead of as, first and foremost, the member of a racial group. Our point is not that harvard has a Quota System down to the last jot and tittle. The point is that harvard achieves a rough racial balance. Students for fair admissions has challenged harvard, specifically about harvards demerits and discrimination directed toward Asian Americans. [adam] harvard has known for quite some time that they have a problem. Harvards own researchers told Dean Fitzsimmons that there was a statistically significant penalty on Asian Americans applying to harvard in february 2013. Students for fair Admissions Expert took the six years of data that your honor ordered produced, and he did a logistic regression analysis. He found the asian Penalty Results in a 20 reduction in the admissions chances of an Asian American applicant. There were a couple of pieces of evidence that were difficult to square with a lack of discrimination against asians. I think there actually are legitimate ways where you can argue that Asian Americans have been discriminated against by Harvard University, because they use a particular statistic called personal rating. So we should spell out for people that harvard rates applicants on four categories academics, extracurricular activities, sports, and personal qualities. Based on an analysis of more than 160,000 student records, their argument is that Asian Americans scored higher than other racial or ethnic groups on quantifiable measures like test scores, grades, and extracurricular activities, only to be rejected via the more subjective personal ratings. Personal rating. Personal ratings. Personal rating to score each applicant on factors such as positive personality, likability. Integrity or kindness or decency. Grit, overcoming obstacles. Unusual effervescence. Effervescence. I think its cultural discrimination. Asian americans are just shutins who only study hard and do nothing else. Courage, bravery saying that Asian American students lack that, its insulting. Many Asian Americans who are in favor of Affirmative Action, they still felt very disturbed, as between white and asian, that asians were being given lower personal scores, which then affected their Admissions Rate.

On ancestry i was able to actually put together our family tree. Each person is a glass worker. We stood on some pretty broad shoulders to get to where we are today. [soft footsteps] we stood on some pretty broad shoulders [bill] may it please the court. My name is bill lee. To get to where we are today. I represent harvard. The plaintiff offers an analysis of an economist who has so manipulated the data that they are living proof that if you torture the data long enough, it will confess to anything. I do think the statistical modeling is helpful. Now the proof is often in the pudding. How do you model a holistic Process Quantitatively . You try to think about the situation as it actually is in real life. Sffa didnt use that model. [bill] when Professor Card modeled harvards Admissions Process, considering all the applicants, considering all the quantifiable information that the Admissions Office itself considers, and considering the Information Year by year, the way that the Admissions Office does, he found no statistical evidence of discrimination. [bill] race is considered as one factor among many in harvards Admissions Process. Harvard itself determined long ago that diversity of all kinds was in the best interest of the college and its students. On the screen now, your honor, is an excerpt from the 1996 report by then president neil rudenstine. The president of Harvard University, neil rudenstine. So to keep them open, to keep them excellent and to keep them diverse seems a goal worthy of all of our efforts and hard work. You gentlemen know better than anyone else how valuable is the educational experience of men of diverse interests and different backgrounds living together. This case is really two cases. The first case is, are Asian Americans applying to harvard facing discrimination . The second case is, should we do something to ensure that higher education, especially elite institutions, that its diverse . So i remember the morning of the case, i spent the entire morning slicking all of my hair back, back, back, back, back. You need to be even more respectful than anyone else in that room, because in some ways we were there as physical representations of the students who deserve to be at places like harvard. I thought the students testimony was effective. Some witnesses spoke of the personal impact of having been admitted to harvard as people from disadvantaged communities, and the effect that it had on their lives. Also, the fact that they were surrounded at harvard by other people from diverse backgrounds and how much it added to their educational experience. It was part of harvards strategy, raising the level of generality out of, were asians discriminated against . To the higher level of abstraction about why it is that harvard has the Admissions Process that it does. So when i was applying for colleges, i spoke with my counselor. The thing he told me was, dont write an asian immigrant story. Its overdone. Its not compelling. I remember just being just so hurt and offended. My parents are both immigrants from china. My dad worked in chinese restaurant industry. Growing up, i had to act as a translator and an advocate for my parents at times. Its a hard thing, i think, for a kid to experience. But it definitely shaped, like, what kind of person that i am. No, i did not expect to get into princeton nor harvard, because My Sat scores were not that great. Somebody came to recruit me in chinatown, and they were looking for Asian Americans in particular to apply. I applied to harvard because of their affirmative Action Program. [sally] when i reviewed my admissions file, they talk about, like, genuine. And wanting to make friends and connect with people, that a lot of that comes from identifying as an outsider. [birds chirping] [cecilia] for a lot of us who testified during the court case, we know that diversity means a lot to the students of color who are on harvards campus. We know that a lot of us wouldnt have come if Harvard Wasnt as diverse as it was now. We know that a lot of the problems we have is because harvard still isnt as diverse as it could be. So today, when my class, the class of 1984, goes for reunion events, we had 6 Asian American students. When we walk outside of our reunion events, its a whole different world, because there are so many Asian Americans and people of color in general. [sally] its not about protecting harvard. Its not about saying this is the right system. But its about saying that Affirmative Action policies are beneficial. Diversity is important on campuses. Its beyond this specific institution and this set of seats. [soft music fades] a major legal case about College Admissions wrapped up today in boston. This trial has certainly shed some unflattering light on the Inner Workings of harvards Admissions Process. No matter what the judge decides, the Harvard Case could go all the way to the Supreme Court and change the Way Race is used in College Admissions. On the one hand, the evidence that was explored at trial. Was revealing and damning. On the other hand, there wasnt a whole lot. And there was no smoking gun, certainly, that showed that harvard made a plan to discriminate against asians. But actually, as the trial went on and i kind of, you know, a lot of that data became public and i started reading these reports, what i realized was that its not that there is discrimination towards Asian Americans, but rather its what the colleges are looking at that benefit white students over all students of color, including Asian Americans. Harvard currently awards massive preferences for recruited athletes, children of its alumni, children of major donors or relations of major donors, and children of its faculty. What we call the aldc group. Athletes, legacies, donors, children of faculty. You have an Admissions Rate of eight times that of other groups. 5 of the applicant pool. 30 . They are 30 of harvards entering class. And that doesnt have to do necessarily with race explicitly, but of course, the members of those groups right now are disproportionately white. Three quarters of them, three quarters, would not have been admitted if theyd competed with everybody else. And for a lot of us, i think that that really was a shock. Why are we sitting here all talking about competing against students of color for percentages, when we have apparently all these people over here who bought their way into harvard or about people who donated their way into harvard . Its a money question. Right. Its an Affirmative Action for the wealthy. The real face of Affirmative Action on americas elite College Campuses is white and privileged. Its actually hard to Stand Up and make a really principled case for why one thinks it is the right and moral thing to do to provide a systematic advantage for students who have had every possible advantage. Some of those are problematic, but theyre not illegal. And so im not a like rah rah, harvard does everything right at all. But i think that what they are doing around Affirmative Action is really important, and thats what i support. For a limited time, subway just dropped the price of every footlong in the app to 6. 99.

Saying of its Admissions Process it is not perfect. That being said, the court will not dismantle a very fine Admissions Program that passes constitutional muster solely because it could do better. And she did talk about the question of this personal rating. And, you know, she said that theres a small issue here. The university should look at it. The majority of Asian American students go to public schools. Private schools have a lot of resources, and Guidance Counselors have much fewer students that they are guiding towards the college Admissions Process. Their letters of Recommendation Arent as good. And white students are much more likely to be going to private school. They might benefit from higher Guidance Counselor ratings. So in The End, i do think the district Courts Conclusion that harvard, whatever it did, did not intentionally discriminate against asians was the correct ruling. [birds chirping] [screen door closes] [edward] we advocate to the courts one thing and one thing only. We are kind of a one trick pony. Colleges should look at the entire individual. What is not reasonable and what is unfair and what is unconstitutional is to treat students differently because of their Skin Color and their ethnic heritage. [paws patter on sand] often legal advocacy on constitutional issues is really the only route to go. You hope to establish a benchmark that future litigants can build on. The legal teams that came together to advocate for the civil rights principles that your race and your Ethnicity Shouldnt be a factor, worked tirelessly for decades to bring cases to the u. S. Supreme court, that would eventually end segregated schools. I think the model is really being used throughout advocacy and general litigation. The idea that the most successful Litigation Strategy in history would give rise to anticivil rights litigation, to try to make our country worse for people because of their race, is to me, is just so deeply cynical. Im danielle holley. Im the dean of Howard University School of law, and im also a professor here. I definitely do. Like i said, i because my mother was raised in the jim crow south, i know that, for me, there was no way forward. My mom went to stanford after the civil Rights Act passed. My dad went to berkeley after the civil Rights Act passed. There was no way forward for us in these educational spaces without the existence of Affirmative Action. So were gonna be talking this half hour on the Today Program about what some people call Affirmative Action, others call reverse discrimination. What Affirmative Action is about is trying to correct 300 years of oppression which has caused Underrepresentation Of Blacks and other minority groups in higher education. So Affirmative Action to me, i trace it back to the 1960s, to the memos that we see from President Johnson and President Kennedy that talk about all of the vestiges of De Jure segregation, all of the vestiges of Legalized Segregation, and taking affirmative steps to remediate those particular areas. You do not take a person who for years has been hobbled by chains, and liberate him, bring him up to the Starting Line of a race and then say you are free to compete with all the others, and still justly believe that you have been completely fair. Affirmative action actually first started to increase Minority Representation when awarding Government Contracts. And it was private universities that then separately instituted their own version of Affirmative Action. Largely through affirmative Action Programs, there has been a large increase in minority admissions to mostly white medical schools. In the last decade, some of the biggest gains in black employment have been made here, and Affirmative Action must be given much of the credit. We went from jim crow to a period of where we used things like Affirmative Action to even open the door just a little. And its not that many people have walked through those doors. As far as im concerned, there are two sets of standards, one■s for whites and one for black. We are all equal, but let everybody start at the same Starting Line like a horse race. Poor poles, poor irish, poor jews, poor protestants in this country who have also been individually disadvantaged. And we ought to stop considering on the basis of race and consider on the basis of individual merit. To me, when i hear people are antiAffirmative Action, i hear that they in many ways are antiequality, that they are pro the regime before Affirmative Action. And the only regime before Affirmative Action is apartheid, is racialized apartheid in the United States. Local and federal Affirmative Action rules have led to Minority Quotas on construction sites. But unemployment hits this industry the hardest. Its one thing. Its one thing. And it is racism. [women yelling] we dont ask for a guarantee of results. What it is that the minorities have asked for is a guarantee of opportunity. For a limited time, subway just dropped the price of every footlong in the app to 6. 99.

The court singled out the procedures used at harvard as a model for achieving Student Body Diversity without unfairness. That sort of laid the groundwork for talking about race in this way, right . So we shift from Justice And Equity and access to multiculturalism, and diversity is good for everyone. I am very in favor of the Diversity Rationale. I just think that the Diversity Rationale should have never been seen as separate and apart from the original rationale for Affirmative Action, which is to remediate past discrimination. [crowd chanting] Todays Decision did not set the country on a new course, and it did not supply a definitive answer to a basic question how to give one group of americans a chance to catch up without depriving other americans of their rights. By 2003, lots and lots of people are unhappy about Affirmative Action, and they want to get it overruled. For the first time since the seventies, the Supreme Court today took Affirmative Action in education, dead on. Two white females say the University Of Michigan denied them admission using tough standards for whites. Her supporters would argue that her treatment was a violation of the 14th Amendment to the constitution, guaranteeing all citizens equal protection under the law. Ironically, that amendment had been adopted after the Civil War to protect former black slaves. [jeannie] the Supreme Court declines to overrule bakke, and reaffirms that its a compelling interest to have Student Body Diversity and schools can try to accomplish that by using race as one of many factors. But Justice Oconnor said 25 years from now, she expected that Affirmative Action would no longer be necessary. So there was always the sense that Affirmative Action was a solution that was temporary and wouldnt be needed at some point in the future. [edward] so, very disappointing outcome. A number of us at that point began a quest to have that decision overturned. So the first thing was a lawsuit against the University Of Texas. Abigail fisher filed her lawsuit in 2008. A white High School senior, Abigail Fisher. Fisher claimed she was not admitted because she is white. Now, Abigail Fisher did not file her lawsuit out of the blue. She was handpicked by conservative activist Edward Blum. [edward] her case went to the Supreme Court the first time in 2013. And we won an important element in this long term legal strategy. Its a nuanced decision. Its a vintage kennedy. Basically, he said you can still consider race for purposes of diversity, but you have to satisfy a higher burden. Fisher made it much harder for schools to defend their Admissions Policies. You could see from the language that the Supreme Court started using around 2013 that Affirmative Action was vulnerable. With that bar now being reset much higher, a decision was made to Sue Harvard as a private university. We ended up suing the university of North Carolina as the public school. Jose, forgive the interruption. Brian williams here with you from new york. We have had a decision just handed down. [edward] the most disappointing case was fisher ii. Thats when Abigail Fisher, after really prevailing in fisher i, lost her case in a 4 to 3 decision. This is a huge defeat for the people who brought this case to the Supreme Court. And the people who brought this case to the Supreme Court were hoping that this case would be a vehicle that the Supreme Court would use to strike down Affirmative Action. That clearly is not gonna happen. Theres an old Billy Joel Song that has a lyric that i have always found comforting. Ive lost a lot of fights, but its taught me how to lose okay. Iim probably losing okay. If thats if thats the if thats the outcome. [traffic hums] the federal Court Trial has begun this week in winstonsalem. Students for fair admissions has filed and so far lost two other lawsuits against Affirmative Action policies at harvard and the University Of Texas at austin. [edward] it is our hope that one of our cases will eventually be taken up by the u. S. Supreme court, and the justices will strike down this divisive and polarizing part of the students application process. It is clear that this has been decades in the making. When the Supreme Court changed over to be six conservatives, boom. And a federal Appeals Court in boston has ruled that Harvard Universitys Admissions Policies do not discriminate against Asian Americans. Todays ruling paves the way for a possible review by the u. S. Supreme court. [suspenseful music] [edward] the process of getting a case before the Supreme Court is a rather long and laborious one. So here is the Supreme Court page for students for fair admissions versus harvard. And i just received a Text Message from one of our attorneys telling me that the final brief has been filed. Yeah. Hi, bill. Good, good. I dont know, maybe June The 10th or so, they would consider an oped from one of our allies encouraging the court to take it again. Ive got a better feeling about this one than i did about Fisher Or Shelby county. You know, although we are in a fraught environment in this Country Today on issues of Race And Ethnicity, this is something that, at least four of the justices have had on their radar for most of their career. I think this could be the cornerstone of the restoration of colorblind principles colorblind employment laws, colorblind voting laws, colorblind contracting laws. Lets just hope they take it. [soft dramatic music] its funny how these things kind of work out in a way that serendipity just plays a role. I was the first in my family to go to college. The career i chose was public finance. I was a partner at a small investment bank, and we sold the partnership to a much larger firm and go into the consulting, which is what i have done. Lets see, this was me back in 1992 as a congressional candidate. So i ran for congress. I lost. I sued the state of texas, arguing that the district was a racial gerrymander. That case went to the Supreme Court. That was quite a day. The day that we won that lawsuit, i was hooked forever. What becomes unconstitutional is where you have thethe intent to classify and segregate voters. We know that government cannot Grant A preference to an individual based upon his Race Or Gender without discriminating against somebody as a consequence. It is not fair, it is not compassionate, and it is not right to tell them that they cannot do business with the federal government, even though they submitted the lowest bid. We believe that Race And Ethnicity should never be a factor. Yesterday, the Supreme Court struck down a key part of the most important civil Rights Law ever passed in this country, the voting Rights Act of 1965. [edward] when Shelby County came down, i burst into tears. The america that elected Barack Obama is not the america of our parents and our grandparents. Hes obviously passionate about his cause, but doesnt mean that his cause is valuable. A lot of times we think of Affirmative Action as benefiting latino students or black students. The truth is, everyone in our society benefits from people of all races interacting more, not less. Its hard to calculate the damage that he is doing to our society by promoting these ideas. Honey. But the gains are pumping the markets closed. Futures dont sleep in the after hours, bro. Dad, is mommy a Finance Bro . she switched careers to make money for your weddings.

Democracy is for democracy is for everyone but i think its a divinely inspired gift of our forefathers that show us that we can lead ourselves. We do have Breaking News in washington with major Red Flags among proponents of Affirmative Action in College Admissions. They said they would take up two cases next term against harvard and the university of North Carolina. I am so excited. I didnt see any new issue that this case brought on. To me it is a blatant political use of their jurisdictional power. Thank you for getting together. I really needed to hear and discuss some of these amicus briefs that supported Harvard And Unc. It was exciting to see so many Come On In support of Affirmative Action. And now the brief submitted to the Supreme Court is boast on what research based on what research tells us for Affirmative Action. We have united over 360 asianamericans and other organizations nationwide filed an amicus brief in support of students for fair admissions. The first was on behalf of leadership and then on behalf of black Women Law professors. We talked about the importance of diversity. If they were to get the decision they wanted they will continue this and what is being called that. So from education to the workplace basically to all the different sectors of society. We have to make this campaign brought her to let people know it isnt just only about Affirmative Action at harvard or at unc. This is kind of interesting and maybe this was last week. So this case is now in its seventh year. There seems to be a Shifting Tide in media coverage. I am starting to see people who you normally would not think of having second thoughts, they are having second thoughts which is a function of the nature of the lawsuit and the evolution of the lawsuit. Now, i have always been a proponent of what they call Affirmative Action and i dont even know if they use that term anymore. It has been a long time. Maybe it is outdated. Harvard did it and they achieve perfect racial diversity but only three percent of the students are going to be black students from poverty and mostly it will benefit the middle and upper class of black folks. A 2016 poll found that 70 percent of americans believe colleges shouldnt consider race during the application process. Personally, i think based off of more financial status more than race maybe an interesting way to go about things. Two black professors at harvard did a study of harvards black students and found that two thirds of them were either immigrants, the children of immigrants, or, to a lesser extent, biracial. When you basically have a system that discriminates against a group and doesnt even accomplish really the stated goals in which the supporters think it does, that is when you start to sour people. Since the court had taken the case, the most important thing that will occupy my time is fundraising and continuing to educate the american public. Hello. Hello, yoko. I am happy to help you with your story. Colleges should eliminate legacy preferences, preferences for big donors and the potential loss of donations to colleges and universities is a small price to pay for the goodwill and the fairness. If students for fair admissions prevails, and the Supreme Court strikes down the use of Race And Ethnicity, it will behoove, i mean, it must follow that harvard will end the use of legacy preferences. It must. Thank you. That was helpful. Thank you everyone. Goodbye. I have no idea what that man is thinking and even if you get rid of legacy at harvard, it wont generate a high number of african american and latino students are even Asian American students. You need to keep race conscious admissions if you want official diversity. If by diversity you mean a person who has come from a unique background, a person who has certain interests, talents, likes and dislikes, who grew up you know, in a single Family Household and an african american innercity neighborhood. Those are the elements of diversity, not your Skin Color or the shape of your eyes or the texture of your hair. It tells us nothing who you are as an individual. An individual incoming dishes.

We should be able to talk about race in the classroom. I agree as a former us History Teacher we absolutely must. The complex stories in Asian American need to be told and not separated from past things in this country. I am not particularly optimistic about the supreme Court Ruling in favor of harvard or unc. I think we know this is an active conservative court that isnt afraid to overturn precedent. We are saving a lot of these for oral argument. They plan to do a big posting of everybody on their website. This is good. We have a good number. On this case i think the Narrative Fight is still important. It is important to voice that they are asianamericans in support of this Affirmative Action and it may be the Death Knell but we dont go down silent or without a fight. Well, today, i am giving a talk to the Silicon Valley chinese association and the following week i get a bit of respite and off to dc. There are two courts, The Court Of Law and the court of public opinion. Lets put our hands together for mr. Edward bloom, the architect of that case. Race is not a small factor of a small factor of a small factor. Race plays the predominant role in admissions decisions. I am here just as a parent. I want to thank you all. Mr. Bloom, you are my hero. They all go to the lower segments of the users and a see the disappointed faces on the kids. Be sure and spread the word. I will give you a Business Card and if you know of parents who have children in High School. This case is about Affirmative Action and much more, race and civil rights and asianamericans who are neither black nor white and where they fit in. Where whites may feel uncomfortable protesting sometimes its like pressing the asian protesters to the front of the stage and they take the blame for maybe seeming a little antiblack. What can you say about the Communitys Opinion on Affirmative Action and why are some people willing to be used as a pawn for this guy . It is so funny and why dont you use asians to talk about asian rights . I think it is frustrating that asianamericans are the face of this and a wedge on this issue. Yes. There is some amount of using but on the other hand this is what political alliances are all about and you find a common cause. Maybe edward may have other motives but in terms of fighting for asianamericans we are on the same page. If they are really concerned about them, dont you think they should ask for relief for asianamericans . That division is something that really needs attention. I think it is disingenuous to say asianamericans dont the size Affirmative Action or have any problem with it and therefore they are just being used. That is not respecting the diversity of asianamericans. He was telling me you are having a hearing in october. I retired in 2018 but right now i am a real Estate Investor but actually primarily devoting my time for equal education rights for asianamericans and all americans. Today i will talk about why asianamericans must fight for equal education. Welcome to this great nation and i came myself with less than 200 and i finished my graduate degree, found a job, raise my children. So after i achieved my american dream, i have been thinking about how about our childrens american dream . Hello and thank you for having me. And i am calling upon all Asian American communities to come to Washington Dc October 30 in the afternoon in front of the u. S. Supreme court and we will have a big rally to speak out to fight for equal education rights for all americans. I think the pattern you can roughly observe is that newly arrived immigrants were Asian American and are more likely to be against the use of Affirmative Action. I interviewed indian and chinese parents who were mostly highly skilled immigrants but because of policies and selecting them. They did quite well in the Education Systems of india and china. And those systems, the only thing that determines where you go to college is how did you do on the national exams. They are good at that and they bring those skills to the United States. You need to make school more challenging or my son will fall behind. There is not much i can do about a straight a student. You have seen those learning centers that strip malls, right . So those of you dont know its basically a Detention Camp for young asian children. That is there cultural repertoire that fairness means a number on a test. Some Korean Americans have already joined but i really have or want to have many americans join. Any suggestion from you and how we could reach the Indian American Communities and in the hundreds. Right now, some people think i am against discrimination against asianamericans, therefore, i oppose Affirmative Action. It is, in fact, possible, and i would say, a good thing to support an affirmative Action Policy that takes race into account as one of the many factors and not discriminate against asianamericans, especially relative to white applicants and those are not zero some goals.

The new term will include a number of big issues, including voting rights, Lgbtq Rights, and Affirmative Action. The n] i the Supreme Courts new term got underway today including a number of big issues including voting rights, Lgbtq Rights and Affirmative Action. I am currently a sophomore at berkeley and i submitted my declaration of a major and plan on attending Law School after berkeley and preferably harbored harbored, and we will see and i think berkeley is good for me. I am receiving a worldclass education and second in terms of Student Body most people i have met are talented, motivated and intelligent. And compared to people i know who go to Ivy League colleges, they are just as comparable and some smarter. Okay. Okay. I applied at stanford and i got rejected. I get rejected. We all think the qualifications are much more important than being based on race for admissions. How do you determine how much race should be involved and how much shouldnt . By initiating the system the racial diversity will first be preserved and second people who are deserving of a chance for example harbored and because of the fact there was a disadvantaged background they could get it. I think there is a way to cope and we get to that point. I think systems should be in point help us alleviate some of the traumas of the past. I would say i have really enjoyed my time here but i do wish there were more african american students here. You do want a diverse school and you dont want a school full of all one race but that being said, i feel like if we were basing it on Affirmative Action, there would be a high chance i wouldnt be here. So i am giving a speech this coming sunday in front of the Supreme Court and can i wear linen in dc . I assume based on the previous rulings of the judges that the court will lean toward our favor. I think for this case by itself, that is a great thing, but because of my political views, i think this is maybe not the best thing for america and to just see how evangelical populists and the Republican Party has become is mind boggling for me so right now i think i am more moderate democrat more than anything. So why are you still supporting this lawsuit . It is beyond me at this point. For me i dont care by go to harvard or not and i am perfectly happy at berkeley but in terms of dozens of other asianamerican applicants who are marked down because of their personality or personal attributes, i think its arbitrarily unfair for them. You cannot remedy discrimination and preferences with new discrimination in different provinces. If asianamericans are being discriminated against in order to increase the percentages of whites, hispanics, and African Americans, that is morally and legally wrong. The predicate behind what harvard is doing doesnt give them cover to discriminate against any racial group in order to help some other racial group. We need to make sure they understand whatever they do in this decision, we wont sit back and just accept it. My name is sally and it is my pleasure to be here with you all today celebrating the best part of our society, the diversity of our experiences. If you just look at the composition with a latina, a jewish woman, with the first black woman on the Supreme Court with Justice Jackson, you will know diversity is our Strength And Diversity matters. When i say defend, you say diversity. When we Stand Up for Affirmative Action, we are standing up for racial justice. I dont want you to feel like you have Imposter Syndrome and you should be here and you belong and its fundamentally wrong. I try to be hopeful. I am young. Affirmative action has existed for 40 years. I will live for another 40 years more fingers crossed. There is more time to think about what can be better and what can we do. It should be remembered that only a few universities are selective enough to use race in admissions. You may ask yourself why it matters in the scheme of things for economic mobility for giving people opportunities. I think a huge amount of it is prestige but also once you gain access, it is a Door Opener and there is no mistake that every Supreme Court justice we have essentially went to three colleges, harvard, yale, or columbia. I think there are eight harvard President S of the United States. The backgrounds of ceos are remarkably similar and these are social engineering. It is a whole system with a Zerosum Game and somebody has to lose out for somebody to benefit. They will only get a certain number of students and they should expand their enrollment and that would solve their problems but that wont happen anytime soon. When they decide who gets in, they decide who will have access to money and resources and have access to political power. Whether you think it is successful or not, this is what is happening. That is why we should care about this, that the people being selected for admissions are being selected to shape the future. There is a Tuesday Meeting and they probably will give away some money to a candidate. I think its bigmoney. And the monday, im going to the Supreme Court. And witness the history. As long as the Supreme Court is going to listen to the case, thats a big achievement already. For me, i say, do not have any expectation. We have expectation that just Social Media is going to report us because my goal is getting the Main Street attention. My best hope for what happens if the court recognizes that right now the way we implement Affirmative Action has issues with race. The court will not say we will ban it. I mean we are just using different expressions and that something i expected. Affirmative action is not the Problem But Education is. I dont think the majority will do that but i hope the dissent they do will address the education is an issue as well. Education is where everything has gone wrong and fix that first. Fix it so the students from these poor neighborhoods are starting off on equal footing and have a good school to go to and its already too late if you make that The End. In 24 hours the Supreme Court will hear argument some of the nations most politically divisive topics, Affirmative Action and a decades long debate that could take a major new turn now that the high court has a 63 conservative majority. I am quite optimistic. I know we have a very good chance to really win this case and provide constitutional protection to our children and for generations to come. Hello. Thank you so much. I really hope my generation can sell equal education rights. America is not a perfect union, but as long as i can do something to make it even more perfect, im happy. One nation, under god, indivisible with Liberty And Justice for all. Our parents, they came to the United States in order to find their kids a better life. They see harvard and yale and stanford is a way to move up and a way to a better life. Affirmative action as a system in itself is a good idea, but as the saying goes, a good idea poorly executed is a bad idea. I think the disadvantages of Affirmative Action, it is a Ban Aid Approach that we dont have equal opportunities so we are sort of making up for that for this according to race. The ancient faith that gave birth to her civil Rights Laws is the principal that an Individuals Race Shouldnt be used to help them or harm them in their lifes endeavors. The notion that Legalized Segregation is the same thing as harvard using race as one of multiple fact theres and holistic admissions is something i find deeply racist, deeply antiblack and troubling for the future of this country. 39 years ago, standing on the national mall talking about Martin Luther kings famous speech with the dream that is for children would one day live in a nation where they are not looked at by the color of their skin but there content of character. When people quote Martin Luther king, the idea that maybe someday we can be race blind. But that day would never come if racism still exists. If you are asking if racism exists in america, my answer is yes. How do we go about addressing that . We need to address that with a race conscious solution. We are guilty society with the Blacks Up Versus Brown versus the Board Of Education and it was discrimination with slavery followed by that and you cant expect the whole thing to have changed in 50 years when you have been discriminated against in 350 years. Humanity has always had anti Semitism And God knows for how long homophobia. You Cant Cure those conditions with more conditions just like it. People who dont want to acknowledge the idea that racism is systemic is maybe counter to the realities we face. Why can we drive by a public School Today and look at the condition of the building and no what color the students are who are inside that building . That is the legacy of historic racial discrimination and ongoing racial discrimination. America is not a systemically racist country. Americas covenantal document is the Declaration Of Independence of the constitution. These are our body of law and those laws are gravely flawed. The 13th Amendment rectified those laws. But today we are as racist as we were in the 40s, 50s and 60s. It is absurd. Thank you, edward bloom. My Name is jaxon, and i have spastic cerebral palsy. Its a mouthful.

Supreme court is hearing two major Cases Today that could determine the future of Affirmative Action in higher education across the country. Lawyers for students for fair admissions the us Supreme Court the us Supreme Court is hearing two major cases that could determine the future of Affirmative Action in higher education across the country. Lawyers for students of fair admissions will ask the court to strike down a precedent that allows colleges to consider race as one of many factors in admissions. You totally slayed. You didnt kind of slate. In poll after poll over two thirds of asianamericans support Affirmative Action. The Supreme Court should do the right thing. We cannot concede to the forces of what could be called regressive intersectionality and we want to coopt her civil Rights Language and strategies. They are in there getting ready and all of them need to hear us. Let me hear it one more time. I am just an observer. We are not your minority, we are not your wedge and we wont be the tool of White Supremacy to turn back the clock of her civil rights. Affirmative action is we want our ceiling. We will hear an argument first this morning and 21 707, students for fair admissions versus the university of North Carolina. Students for fair admissions versus the president and fellows of Harvard College. The room was full and i felt apprehensive and curious. It was a very intense nerve racking experience for everyone. Racial classifications are wrong and that was enshrined in our law at a great cost following the Civil War and a century of resistance to Race Neutrality followed but this Courts Landmark Decision finally and firmly rejected the view that racial classifications have any role to play in providing educational opportunities. Mr. Chief justice and may it please the court, our future as a country depends on having leaders who have enjoyed wide exposure to students as diverse as the nation is and as this court has consistently held if necessary to achieve genuine diversity, University Need not blind itself to that. Racist stickies the one of the first questions they asked is why it matters. Does it have any residence other than Box Checking . We suggest the classification of lumping together students from families from china with somebody from families from afghanistan and what they have in common . What do you want from the mere checking of The Box . You have to be willing to talk about it very honestly and openly. Many of the justices dont seem particularly interested in some ways or they feel uncomfortable but i thought Justice Jackson and justice kagan all did a great job. We also have did your the sure segregation and they are treated with that opportunity. We object to a consideration of race. It was a Box Checking way and an experiential statement. The race as part of the culture and the culture is part of the race, isnt it . When you use race you are telling applicants that their Race Matters and mean something and inherently divisive. They are offering it because they are saying Race Matters to that vision of how race is considered was really at the heart of what many of the exchanges that the Supreme Court came down to. Both councils in both cases, case is submitted. When the cases were submitted, and we all walked out of the courtroom and then down the steps of the Supreme Court, it was nearly 6 hours of intense argument. And for it to end and to end in the way it did, coming away feeling modestly optimistic. You know, it was a great relief. I think of that harvard struggled in this oral Argument And Part of that is because they have a harder case in the sense it is a more nuanced argument. I think the Ss Fa Side has a more straightforward argument which is that racial classifications are wrong across the Board And Colorblindness is part of that and title 6 and that statute and i think harvard has to admit that racial classifications are wrong in some contexts but not others and i think theres a lot of subtlety in the argument they have to make and therefore i think it was a difficult hill to climb.

Switch today [birds chirping] Switch Today the Supreme Court appears poised to put an end to Affirmative Action. So whats at stake with the supreme Court Ruling over race in College Admissions . The short answer is, a lot. So what is at so what is at stake with the supreme Court Ruling . The short answer is a lot. Everybody is talking about this case all the time and people from departments that arent in the Law School asked me what day will be here . There are a lot of implications depending on how this is written. If they say Diversity Isnt a compelling Government Interest that noticing race is copper say, unconstitutional could be devastating for a number of areas in the law. I think it has been discussed in the conservative legal community that the court has the opportunity here to give a roadmap for future litigation with an employment, contracting, and diversity driven decisionmaking and in the private sector and public sectors. While i was waiting for the decision to come out, i was most curious and anxious to see what the Supreme Court would actually do about the problem of asianamericans. Asianamericans are very inconvenient. It is much more defensible to think about Affirmative Action in terms of boosting racial minorities like African Americans and latinos and once you start talking about the cost including asianamericans and it makes Affirmative Action seem less appealing. The media kept portraying me as somebody against Affirmative Action but he made it clear from the beginning that i am not against it. Diversity is important and how we grow as young adults. But how . How do we do it without implementing a quasiQuota System . I dont know. You cant claim to support diversity now without trying to maintain a certain percentage of class to make sure everybodys represented and i think eliminating Affirmative Action opens a whole new Can Of Worms and we are like what do we do now . How do we do this . I dont know. Today, i want to discuss Affirmative Action. We have kind of gone past Affirmative Action. The people who have benefited most from affirmative Act Ocean have been women who are white. Affirmative action has a symbolic meaning in the United States and it is at the Center Section of our beliefs and equal opportunities and picking yourself up from your bootstraps. Ours is a land of immigrants from people voluntarily coming here seeking opportunity. I came here with Six Dollars in my pocket. Because of that 14th Amendment. If you believe in it, you believe it is a corrective that creates equal opportunities and corrects the meritocracy, which otherwise is not fair. If you disagree with it, you believe equally so that this is on meritocratic and unfair to certain groups. I had to score higher than kids in any other group. The any other only other difference was the color of our skin. This is come together and Affirmative Action. You are a racist. You got a job because you are black and not because you are smart. You got a job because you are a woman. This reflects a really deep and old conflict about what equality means, that everyone is treated the same or equality demands that people be treated differently in order to produce the equality. This was there from the beginning of the country and their at the inception of the 14th Amendment. It is one that is unresolved. I am feeling a little nervous. I am feeling a little hopeful. It is hard to really verbalize the emotions that somebody goes through with a case pending at the us Supreme Court. I am very busy, which helps. Chances are, students for fair admissions, if we win are two cases, this organization will turn into not only a future Litigating Organization as we are now, but also a watchdog organization. It is likely that colleges and universities will implement policies that are basically direct proxies for race and those policies will be challenged in court. It will be School By school. If Ss Fa loses, that means we have only lost within the public Policy Arena of higher education. Affirmative Action Employer affects employment, contracting, election laws. They will still be litigated. Come on. Lets go enjoy this beautiful evening. Come on. Lets go. This is decided by the Supreme Court and it has a wide ranging effect not only with that incident but throughout the country. A new doctrine is established and new jurisprudence is established or old jurisprudence is overturned. Shall be county big law. Yesterday the Supreme Court struck down a key part of the most important civil Rights Law ever passed in this country, the voting Rights Act of 1965. Fisher won medium law and you can still consider race for purposes of diversity, but you have to set aside a higher burden which will make it tougher. A small law and by a 43 vote the Supreme Court has upheld the affirmative Action Program at the University Of Texas. It could be not big or gigantic law. We want to do that.

Lets get right to the Breaking News at the Supreme Court. The court has just issued a Landmark Ruling i am reporting from i am reporting from new york and lets get right to the Breaking News at the Supreme Court. The court has just issued a Landmark Ruling on Affirmative Action. The Supreme Court today ruled the race conscious Admission Programs at Harvard And Unc were unlawful. The Supreme Court has invalidated it appears once and for all using race for any means whatsoever in evaluating somebodys admissions to a College Or University in america. And the asian community and with all of the people who supported this. I am half asian i think this is all bowl. I dont subscribe to the idea that asianamericans were being used or weapon eyes to in order to destroy Affirmative Action but i did have something close to that feeling upon reading the ultimate decision of the Supreme Court that Asian Americans pretty much dropped out of the picture having been so important in litigation over the nine years and it has to do with the complicated politics of Affirmative Action. White people are the Majority And Nobody brought it up to the task and what about other side. What they are saying regardless of what the justices put out today is that diversity unites us. This is absolutely devastating. This will affect people across the country. Things like the Majority Opinion are untethered from the reality of race in america today. It is a setback for country and feels like we are turning back the clock. I am going to say this. Maybe it is a funny thing to say but i would say that institutions like Harvard Shouldnt exist and the consolidation of that much resource funding, wealth to one Place Gate kept to a small number of people is not, i think, conducive to the kind of world that advocates for equitable education would want to see. I think we need to be asking less how can we get more people of color into a place like harvard but ask more about why does it take harvard for people of color to have success . This is a choice we have made in the United States and we have a vastly unequal society and growing social inequality. The higher Education System is to stratified and too much a winner takes all. This provides an opportunity, this decision, to go deeper, to address issues like inequality, poverty, and lack of access to resources. That can end up actually helping racial minorities if it is done right. The outcomes in these two cases really do represent The End of the beginning of this fight. It is not the beginning of The End.
