还是过几天会再收到个invoice mail之类的
谢谢

Charles C Johnson, The New Chinese Exclusion Act; Self-appointed civil
rights defenders support rules that keep Asian kids out of top schools. Wall
Street Journal, July 29, 2011.

Quote:
"Yet after Prop. 209 passed [in 1996 which outlaws the use of racial
references by the state government, including admission to state colleges],
Asian-American enrollment grew. At UC Berkeley, the system's flagship, Asian
-American enrollment grew to 43% in 2008 from 37.3% in 1995. At the
University of California San Diego, it grew to 50% from 36% in 1995. Asian-
Americans now make up a majority in seven of the nine UC campuses.
"Another 2009 study from Mr. Epenshade and Alexandria Walton Radford, in
collaboration with Mr. Chung, found that Asian students need a near-perfect
SAT score of 1550 to have the same chance of being admitted at a top school
as whites and blacks with scores of 1410 and 1100, respectively. Overall,
whites had a three-fold, Hispanics a six-fold, and blacks a more than 15-
fold chance of being admitted compared to Asian-Americans.

(1826-1904; He argued in the Senate in favor of Women's suffrage as early as
1886 and opposed the Chinese Exclusion Act, 1882.)
Please remember that Massachusetts, now one of the bluest (Democratic), was
Republican a century ago--much like the South, now solidly Republican, was
Democratic half a century ago (Nixon's Southern Strategy helped turn it
around).
