This is personal for me. My two sons are Asian-American and my oldest is passionate about math and science. I don't want to have to explain to them that "people who look like mommy have to score higher to get into college than people who look like daddy."

Progressives claim that they oppose "institutionalized racism," but R-88 would add another layer of bureaucracy with the sole purpose of discriminating on the basis of race, which is the definition of "institutionalized racism."

The outcomes could be devastating for Asian-Americans. When a system like this was put in place at Harvard, it created an "Asian-American penalty" that effectively reduced Asian-American admission rates by 73%.
