| Abstract | In a plurality opinion in the 1978 Supreme Court case Regents of the University of California v. Bakke, Justice Lewis Powell held that colleges and universities could consider an applicant's race in the admissions process in order to attain a diverse student body. In a pair of cases that will be decided in the current term, the Supreme Court has been asked to reconsider that precedent, sparking a reinvigorated public debate about the merits of affirmative action. In these policy debates, much has been written about the attitudes of blacks, whites, and Hispanics toward racial preferences. The views of Asian Americans, however--who are often portrayed as aggrieved victims of this policy alongside whites--have received scant attention. Dearth of information on Asian Americans' attitudes toward affirmative action has made it possible for the results of one misleading set of survey questions--suggesting that over two-thirds of Asian Americans support this policy--to gain an outsized role in the debate over the issue. Asian Americans are the fastest-growing racial or ethnic group in the U.S. today. More effort ought to be put into understanding their views, on a variety of policies, in an unbiased way. (ERIC). |
