California Asian-Americans show strength


Asian-American Democrats show strength in opposing affirmative action. Now if it had been white Republicans it would have been them showing their true racist nature.

Asians prove that everything you have learned about racism in America is a lie.

According to the federal court of appeals minorities are too poor to win so they should win by default.
