Opponents of affirmative action responded to liberal media attacks on Asian Americans as mere pawns of Whites after last week's landmark Supreme Court ruling.
Color Us United president Kenny Xu explains why he's "ecstatic" the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the use of race as a factor in college admissions last week.enraged media liberals and prompted sharp attacks on Asian Americans as tools of Whites and even White supremacists themselves.
NBC News also came out with an article last week right on the heels of the decision, quoting a left-wing Asian-American advocacy group that described the plaintiffs as"pawns" of the"White supremacist agendas behind these lawsuits." The NPR article quoted extensively from liberal viewpoints to attack Blum, a conservative activist whose organization led the successful litigation in the cases against Harvard and North Carolina. The American Civil Liberties Union told NPR that Blum had a"long history of crafting attacks on civil rights." Blum, meanwhile, is celebrating a landmark legal victory over what he says was state-sanctioned racial discrimination.
"The ACLU’s characterization of my activities is gravely mistaken," Blum told Fox News Digital."Significant majorities of Americans of all races and ethnicities believe that one’s race should not be a factor in college admissions, employment decisions, jury selection and many other areas of our lives. My legal activities are focused on restoring the original principles of the civil rights movement.
"Our country isn't primarily Black and White anymore," he said, citing the country's diverse population and the polls showing large percentages of ethnic groups like Hispanics opposed affirmative action as well."So in an increasingly diverse society in which you can't easily label people under privilege and oppressed groups, what's the best way forward? The best way forward is to treat people on the basis of merit, not their skin color.
