Asian Americans benefit from affirmative action. Regardless of race or ethnicity, all students benefit from the diverse classrooms created by affirmative action. #DefendDiversity #AffirmativeAction @aaldef @CAPAC

We are outside the Supreme Court now. Many students of color face educational barriers BECAUSE of their race. Affirmative action simply takes this factor into account, bc ignoring race means ignoring the systemic disadvantages that BIPOC students unfairly endure. #DefendDiversity

We're telling SCOTUS to preserve affirmative action and #DefendDiversity.
Rally with us in D.C. as the Harvard and UNC cases are argued on Oct. 31.

"Affirmative action is successful because it opens doors for people who would otherwise be excluded — and because it recognizes that everyone benefits from having diverse perspectives at the table."

Asian Americans support race-conscious admissions. We will not be used as a racial wedge and we are solidarity with other long-marginalized communities of color to demand the representation we deserve. #DefendDiversity
ALT Grey text saying “Asian Americans support affirmative action.” And “#DefendDiversity” in purple text below it. All on a red background.

Grateful and proud to be a part of AALDEF’s amicus brief in support of affirmative action and holistic admissions. Asian/Americans want to be seen as our whole selves and race must be taken into account!

We love to hear more Okinawan voices and experiences! Thank you for making this episode (and your entire podcast, as well)! One small correction is that Sanshin originates from China, it is from the 三弦 Sanxian.

Today ECAASU mourns the lives lost in the 9/11 attacks, as well as for the countless people whose lives were changed because of it. We specifically want to call to attention the Arab, Middle Eastern, Muslim, South Asian, and North African people harmed by the US response.
