Subject: Issues affecting your re-election campaign in November
Dear AsAm Legislators in the California Assembly,
Please vote NO to SCA5 in the Assembly. Print out the two campaign posters
and you will see why.
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. Even my 6 year old
son asked “Why should I be sorted like monkeys in the zoo?” What messages
are we sending to our children that they should be treated differently
based on their skin colors, instead of their personal efforts and
qualifications?
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. Please print out the attached campaign posters, and ponder whether
your name, or your opponent’s name, should appear in the bracket. Posters
like these will become a ubiquitous presence in your districts leading to
the next election. 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. Quoting the news media, “Of particular issue with
lawmakers is the dominance of Asian students in UC and CSU schools.
Currently, UC freshmen are 36 percent Asian, 28.1 percent white, 27.6
percent Latino and 4.2 percent African American. Yet California’s
population is 13.9 Asian, 39.4 percent “White alone, not Hispanic or Latino
,” 38.2 percent Latino, and 6.6 percent African American, according to the
U.S. Census. Hernandez and legislators representing minorities want the
state’s college admissions to reflect the population more closely.”
Please note that (1) AsAm are not considered a “minority” to the likes of
Hernandez. (2) Latino, which has a nearly-identical population to the white
, is a “minority”. (3) Latino, which has a nearly-identical college
enrollment to the white, is “underrepresented”. (4) AsAm enrollment is of
great concern and is a problem to be solved by SCA5. 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. Hernandez, with the
concurrence of three AsAm state senators, is attempting to draft a
California State Constitutional Amendment in violation of the US
Constitution.
SCA5 has no redeeming value. It 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. Why cannot the legislators
ask the tough questions as to how to improve the quality of elementary and
secondary education in certain communities, and to get down to the root of
the problems to close the ever-wider achievement gaps? Instead, the
legislators engaged in a cheap game of “robbing Peter to pay Paul”, for
which they are assured of Paul’s support. In fact, only a subset of the
Pauls is the true beneficiary of any “race conscious” policy. Social
studies have concluded that 85+% of the “under-represented” students
admitted under “race conscious” policies were from wealthy or middle-class
families who just happen to have the right skin colors, leaving their
poorer brethren in the dust. If it were for “social justice”, why cannot
the “progressive” legislators introduce “socioeconomic considerations”
into college admissions without regard to race and ethnicity? Such a policy
would disproportionally benefit the black and Hispanic community yet it is
still fair, as the poor AsAm and white kids can also be helped. Rewarding
or penalize an individual based on his/her skin color is morally repugnant,
even more so 50+ years after the “I have a dream” address. Hernandez and
his like-minded legislators, including the 3 AsAm senators, are trying to
turn the clock of the history backward. With your help, we shall overcome.
I have a dream, do you?
Thank you for your attention.
