Asian American college students are speaking out in support of affirmative action. The Supreme Court will soon be deciding the future of affirmative action in a case brought against Harvard University and UNC. But while there is a “small faction” of young people who are supportive of ending “race-conscious admissions,” many students on these campuses are rallying to protect the diversity at their schools. With “[v]oter surveys show[ing] that 69% of Asian Americans support affirmative action,” it’s clear that these policies have made a difference for BIPOC Gen Z and Millennials. Supporters of affirmative action site the profound impact that a diverse body of students has had on their own lives, and say they worry that future generations will not experience the same.
