because they were black. morita, are you concerned this is going to drive a we will between the asian american community and black americans? yes, that is a big concern. i think it s obvious that we are fundamentally at odds, the two of us speaking today. i don t agree with the supreme court s move towards color blindness. that is not how we should be interpreting our constitution. and it s vital we continue to work in solidarity with communities of color to advance educational equity. we believe that affirmative action benefits all, including asian americans, and we need all of the tools at our disposal to assure that doors of opportunity remain taupe all students. kenny and morita, thank you very much for this conversation. appreciate it. we will be back after this.
self-determination, independence, hard work, self-discipline. why can t harvard see past that? instead they see test-taking robots with no person oolty. that s why i believe this ruling was important to stand up for the dignity of asian americans. morita? that argument presumes that standardized tests are the best and fairest measures of merit. civil rights groups spoke powerfully about the importance of holistic review and consider are factors beyond test scores. our organization is in this because we understand that asian americans are being leveraged as wedge in these matters and we are adamant that the community not be used to divide communities of color alongside our allies representing diverse communities we will continue to fight to advance educational equality and racial justice for
