Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) published a press release detailing a brief that he and 84 legislators filed to the Supreme Court that calls for an end to discrimination against Asian American college applicants. Cruz spearheaded the brief with Korean American Congresswoman Michelle Steel (R, CA-48), who has consistently denounced elite higher education institutions admission policies that factor in an applicants race to promote campus diversity. Cruz and Steel rallied the support of 13 Republican Senators, including Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Rand Paul (R-KY), and 70 Republican House Representatives. Steels fellow Korean American California representative Young Kim (R, CA-29) was also on the list of signees. The filing lists Students for fair admissions (petitioners) versus the President and fellows of Harvard College (respondents) and also the Students for fair admissions (petitioners) versus the University of North Carolina et. al. (respondents). The brief begins with the purpose of intent, which states that all members of the Senate and House were committed to the principle of equality under law as guaranteed by the 14th Amendment and Title VI of the Civil Rights Acts of 1964, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color or national origin among other things.

Legislators argued that no American should be denied educational opportunities because of race, citing the rejection of Asian American applicants due to their race by Harvard and the University of North Carolina as unconstitutional. The brief went on to label Asian Americans as victims of discrimination, arguing that race-conscious admissions single out Asian American applicants. Race-conscious admissions decisions inflict a heavy toll on Asian-American students. Treating them differently because of their race is a stark departure from equal protection decisions issued early on by this Court, which guarded Asian immigrants from racial prejudice. And the burdens imposed on petitioner illustrate a wider trend. Asian-Americans are increasingly victimized by discriminatory practices. The very justification of racial balancing, GOP representatives argued, is an aim that is unconstitutional on its face, with the Grutter case being a constitutional outlier. They added that race-conscious college admissions, laws and policies should only survive judicial scrutiny if necessary to remedy the effects of an institutions past discrimination. The brief also raised the question of why the protections that originated from the Brown v. Board of Education case should not extend to higher education. No one has convincingly explained why dividing schoolchildren by race is unconstitutional while dividing young adults by race is permissible. The presence of Asian Americans in the GOP has been on the rise, with the New York state GOP announcing its new Asian American caucus earlier this year and Asian American districts having been found to favor GOP candidates.

They're afraid that they're going to make super Asians, because they have to work harder

But being cucked an education because of your race is...racist

They want to keep black people out of colleges, most likely.

Texas has a very big Asian community, and we're also about to build a huge chip production plant for Samung here... so if there are any ulterior motives, it's for votes and/or business.

They're not really hiding much here. It's just anti-affirmative action / equity. Except with a thinly veiled CE level argument to justify it.

Also, I have to say this topic isn't as straightforward as you might expect.

Many times it's simply affirmative action: giving a minority at the school entrance before others, which is legal and makes sense from a college's perspective: a diverse student body is better for everyone.

If Harvard has 30% asian students and 10% african american or black students, then it makes sense to deny an asian student access over an african american student.

Universities make no secret about wanting a diverse student body, and Ted Cruz trying to make it sound like Harvard is the KKK is ridiculous.

Remember also this is rich fucking weirdos complaining, literally, "Oh no I couldn't get into Harvard and had to go to Yale."

I know this may come as a shock to you, but not every Asian is Chinese. Also, many Asian Americans hate communism similar to how Cuban Americans feel about communism.
