加州时间2014年2月15日晚19:24分在WeiDB转发该文章之后,截至16日中午12:48分,已有4343浏览。而该话题继续在其它网络媒体发酵,可见该法案对华裔群体的冲击。在编者看来,这个法案只是拉开了一个序幕,美国人口结构剧变之后即将发生更多事情的序幕。如华裔不未雨绸缪,恐将来步履会更艰难。上次ABC不当节目的事情也许更是旧时代的尾声,而新时代,这个法案或许便是前奏。上次的事情,我们面对的只是Kimmel一人,ABC一个公司,但这次,局势完全不同了。同胞们,不要再只当挣钱养家的工具了,不要再只顾着自己埋头乐呵呵了,更不要再和同胞们相互排挤蜗牛角上较雌论雄了,在人性尚未彻底改观的世界里,我们必须联起手来,一边向明目张胆搞种族歧视的做法宣战,一边改掉华人的弊病,创造新时代华人的新形象!

请华人组织起来反对限制亚裔入学比例的SCA5,以免以后其它州,其它大学 有可能效仿。
这次更改,简单的说,比AA法案还要恶劣的。大学录取,允许根据种族决定学生的去留,直接把种族歧视写入州宪法。
这不是一件小事,这是暴风雨之前的攒动。今天是加州和德州通过如此倒退的法律,明天就是全美国各州效仿。今天是大学录取的歧视合法化,明天就是雇佣、制定合同的合法化。
华裔的生存空间越来越小,除了白人的统治多数,还被日益扩大的西裔,非裔挤压,在生活的各个缝隙。
值得一提的是,这法案,是民主党草拟的。赞同票一水的民主党(包括三个华裔议员)。反对和弃权票,全是共和党。华人是不是该清醒了,该看清民主党的嘴脸的。为了选票,可以出卖一切。
华人欢庆新年之际,西裔民主党籍州参议员(State Senator)贺南德兹(Ed Hrnandz)提出一项提案却给欢乐中的亚裔们浇了一盆冷水:该议员嫌加州大学系统(University of California System)的亚裔学生太多了,要求限制亚裔入学,提高西裔和非裔在加大系统中的入学比率。此提案已在1/30/2014参议院(State Senator)27票赞成,9票反对通过。(注1)。下一步即将提到州众议会投票。此提案如果在州众议会(State Assembly)获得通过,将於今年11月公投,决定是否恢复在加大校园中实行所谓的平权措(Affirmative Action),限制亚裔招生,多招西裔和非裔。
加州於1996年通过209提案,成为全美第一个州禁止公立大学以种族决定入学,政府也不可以种族为聘用标准。参议会通过的SCA5修宪提案将取消209法案部分规定,包括政府单位在内,不可因个人或团体的种族、性别、肤色和原国籍,给予公立教育特殊待遇。
目前加大(UC)各校亚裔学生比例,远超过加州亚裔人口比例,一旦公投通过,加大亚裔入学人数势必受到排挤。各级亚裔民意代表与民权团体,应尽速表明反对立场,勿使优秀的亚裔学子接受高等教育的机会遭剥夺。
加大系统的亚裔学生比例最高,是因为亚裔凭学业成绩与各方面表现的真本事被录取,没有受到族裔背景的特别照顾。说白了,SCA5提案的实际意义,就是民主党人嫌亚裔占掉加大太多入学名额,尤其让西裔人士看了眼红。
**现在我们可以做的是写信给代表我们选区的加州众议员,去他们的网站给他们写
Email,请他们反对 SCA5. (不需要再和State Senator写了,因为他们已经投过票了)。
请点击下面网站找到谁是代表您的州众议员(Assembly member),打开了议员网页后,按Contact按钮就可以写Email了:
http://findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov/
这里有一个Email的模板大家可以参考,最好加点自己的意见。
“Please vote NO on SCA 5, the constitutional amendment to repeal provisions implemented through the enactment of Proposition 209. I believe preferential treatment based on race in college admission is not the right practice and violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Children who study and work hard deserve equal opportunity in college admission regardless of their race. I strongly urge you to vote "No"on SCA 5. Thank you for listening to the voice of your constituent.”
大家都是在美国合法纳税人,请捍卫我们孩子的利益,让众议员听到我们的声音!

My dear friends,
In my humble opinion, 1/30/2014 marked the darkest day in California’s recent history of politics. On this day, the California Senate overwhelmingly (27:9) approved SCA-5 http://legiscan.com/CA/bill/SCA5/2013
which would appeal provisions of Prop 209 and allow the State of California to discriminate an individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin.
In the 18 years that Prop 209 has been in effect, California has become the most diversified state in the US. Also, comprehensive measures were introduced to help students from disadvantaged families to obtain high education, which have my full support. Now SCA-5 seeks to roll back the clock to unfairly punish Asians simply based on race. The 14th Amendment of the US Constitution clearly states that no state shall deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. The SCA-5 is wrong and in violation of the US Constitution.
As a beneficiary of the Prop 209, in just a few years of career life, I have directed works that brought tens of millions of dollars of revenues into California, helped to create/maintain hundreds of jobs benefiting all ethnical groups, with a lot more down the road. However, some day, my children might tell me: “Dad, I lost the opportunity simply because of the color of my skin.” Not to mention that a student from a disadvantaged Asian family could lose nearly all opportunities to pursue any "American Dream".
Currently, the bill is at the California Assembly. I hereby urge you to call your representative at the Assembly http://assembly.ca.gov/assemblymembers to vote no on SAC-5. I will also deeply appreciate if you could help spreading the words.
