紧急动员：向最高法院， 请投庄严一票
捍卫你孩子公平竞争入学名校的机会
2/21/2012，美国最高法院决定审理用“族裔”的理由来提高亚裔和白人高校入学门槛
的做法是否违宪。
请您立即投票赞成（FOR） 80-20全美亚裔教育基金会的民调书，清楚明白地表明亚裔
在这件案子上的立场。
http://admin.80-20nj.info/cgi/80/e?l=8/11e/f&w=no
资料显示，亚裔在美国要比其他族裔成绩优秀许多才能上同样的学校。要上同样的名校
，亚裔SAT要考1550分，白人1410分，而非裔只需要1100分*（英文和数学满分是1600）。
下面几周内，我们需要征集到至少五万个签名，让结果写入Amicus Curiae (“法庭之
友”的文书)作为证据资料递交最高法院。我们要表明亚裔赞同以考生的综合素质（而
不是族裔）作为美国高校的招生标准。综合素质包括申请学生现在的学术成绩和未来可
能的成功潜力，例如申请人是否能在不利的生活环境中仍能不懈努力等 (i.e.
Overcome adversity under socio-economic constraint). 我们相信这样的定位能给
所有的考生提供一个公平竞争的机会，也能给学校足够的弹性来制定他们的教育的目标。
之所以要五万个签名来支持这项活动是因为现在最高法院不知道亚裔作为少数族裔在这
个案例上是支持还是反对高校取消‘族裔’作为录取标准的。通过我们初步的调查，绝
大多数的亚裔是支持取消‘族裔’这个录取指标的。但是我们需要确实的数据来证明亚
裔的立场，所以80-20全美亚裔教育基金会设计了这个民调书。
如果您愿意让你孩子抬头做人，在申请书上大大方方承认自己是亚裔，而不惧怕会受歧
视而上不了理想的学校的话，请现在就到下面的网站来签名赞成80-20的民调书，并请
您的其他的亚裔朋友都来签名。父母请各签一个名，有自由意志的学龄孩子也可以签名
！（必须是绿卡或公民才可以投票，谢谢合作。）
时间紧迫，谢谢您支持签名和帮助转发！

A historical moment has arrived. On February 21, 2012, the Supreme Court
decided to review a pending lawsuit that challenges the prevalence use of
strong racial preferences in college admission.
Please take this survey to project your voice to the Supreme Court.
http://admin.80-20nj.info/cgi/80/e?l=8/11e/f&w=no
Your children’s future is literally in your hands!
Currently, Asian Americans are being held at a much higher college admission
standard. To receive equal consideration for the top colleges, out of a
1600 SAT maximum (verbal & math)
1550 for Asians = 1410 for Whites = 1100 for Blacks.
The strong racial preferences instilled such a fear among Asian American
applicants that many refuse to state their ethnicities in college
applications. (Well, most of our LAST NAMES are a dead giveaway!) If you
want your children to face such a harsh reality, then do nothing. Otherwise
please take ONE minute to cast your vote.
We aim to gather 50,000 signatures and submit this national survey results
to the Supreme Court. We will submit an Amicus Curiae (“friend of the
court” brief) advocating a race-neutral, merit-based college admission
policy; with broadly defined merit to include current scholastic achievement
and evaluated future potential of an applicant. This nuanced position
would provide fair and equitable opportunity to all applicants; while still
provide the schools broad discretion in defining education objectives.
Please fire up all your Asian American friends and families to vote. The
clock is ticking; the deadline to submit a legal briefing is less than two
months away. Every single vote counts. Yes, parents should sign as two
separate individuals, school children counts too if they understand the
concept and have an opinion.
"YOU must be the change you wish to see in the world” — Mahatma Gandhi
What is at stake?
For many Asian American parents, there is no larger issue at stake. We
spend tens (even hundreds) of thousands of dollars, devote most evenings and
weekends over 18 years, scarifying and enduring all hardships in order to
give our children the best college preparation, only to find out that we are
a “wrong minority” whose qualifications are summarily discounted, by as
much as 450 points out of 1600 SAT total, in order to make room for the
others. The others have decided long ago, without our consent and without
our knowledge, that such reverse discrimination is “GOOD” for our kids and
call it a “celebration of diversity”. We beg to disagree: The very
American ideal of Equal Opportunity, afforded to people of all races and
ethnicities by the “Equal Protection Clause” in 14th Amendment of the US
constitution, must prevail.
“Racial balancing is not transformed from ‘patently unconstitutional’ to
a compelling state interest simply by relabeling it “racial diversity’”.
— Chief Justice John Roberts
Why the survey?
The Supreme Court takes up contentious issues and set legal precedents for
the lower courts. The rulings are based on the Justices’ lifelong personal
experiences, available factual data, and their interpretation of the US
constitution.
There have been insidious attempts to confuse the college admissions issue
by labeling racial preferences as a struggle between the “white” and the
“minorities”. It is NOT, Asian Americans have been used as a sacrificial
lamb to paper over a deep-rooted social problem: large and persistent
achievement gaps among racial groups. The Supreme Court might as well be
confused, considering FOUR Asian American organizations have already filed
Amicus Curiae saying Asian Americans all love racial preferences in college
admissions. This survey will set the record straight: NO, the vast majority
of Asian Americans DO NOT support racial preferences. Our internal
opinion poll shows Asian Americans prefer a race-neutral and merit-based
policy by a 10:1 margin. This national survey will produce NEW factual data
for the Supreme Court to consider, blocking a potent argument by our
opponents. Broad Asian American participation is critical.
