Nerd News: Asians vs. Affirmative Action in California

Again.  

As a friend once said, "Asians don't count.  You're too successful."  

Someone else not too long ago: "You don't count as a minority.  You count as a white person."  (Me: "You know that that was the same attitude in apartheid South Africa?")

Meanwhile, the NAACP LDF et al campaign to replace the race-neutral, objective SHSAT (Stuyvesant test) with multi-measure, including race, subjective admissions continues apace.

The bill in the NYS Senate and Assembly:

I don't know of any groups fighting the SHSAT change.

They seem determined to wreck Stuy eventually, aren't they?

Determined? Yeah. They won't quit until they get their way, and maybe not then. Check this out:
