From Think Progress:
Jennifer Lee, a University of California, [Irvine] sociologist, says the media coverage
of Asian Americans’ position on affirmative action is misguided, because 69 percent
of Asian Americans support the policy, yet they are portrayed as generally opposing
it. “The general perception is that Asian Americans do not support affirmative action,
which is not the case. Rather, Asian Americans have been strategically deployed as
a wedge between to dismantle affirmative action,” Lee said.
