「支持對哈佛和北卡大學的起訴」行動（一）

11月17日，我們聽到一個振奮人心的消息，著名人權律師Blum先生代表亞裔學生，開始起訴哈佛大學和北卡大學他們多年來在新生錄取時對亞裔的歧視。以下是一些觸目驚心的殘酷事實：

1．亞裔進一流名校SAT要比白人高140分，比西裔高270分，比非裔高450分。

2．亞裔在任何一個SAT分數段的錄取率都是最低。在同樣分數的情況下，錄取率比白人低67%。比其他族裔則更低。

3．我們很多品學兼優的孩子，有著高SAT，高GPA, 並有參賽得獎、優異課外活動的資質還被長春藤等名校累累拒絕。

在過去20年亞裔學生不但數量增加，學生的素質大幅度提高的情況下，長春藤對亞裔學生的錄取比例基本持平。這些學校的隱形配額制已經形成對我們孩子成長和教育的最大枷鎖。是亞裔和華裔在美國所面臨的最大人權問題。

今天，Blum先生已經站出來為我們抗爭了。我們還能再做啞裔嗎？華人應該組織起來，趁熱打鐵，積極支持這一訴訟。具體如下：

第一、發動被哈佛、北卡大學等名校不公正拒絕的學生勇敢地站出來，參與到對這些學校的起訴活動中。不論是公開或匿名方式，都是重要的支持。

第二、華人應該積極行動起來，以不同方式表達對這一訴訟的支持，包括向新聞媒體寫信、留言等。現在有些主流媒體如NPR的報道不公正，希望大家積極參與留言，給他們寫信，以正視聽。

謝謝大家支持！

Guidelines for your letter or online discussion:

1.    Focus on the fact that Asian Americans are the biggest victim of this discrimination. It is not fair to discriminate Asian Americans who have done nothing wrong to other minority groups.  

2.    Chinese Americans were victim of 「Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882.」  Unfairly, they have become victim of again in the area of college admission for the last few decades.

3.    Do not attack African Americans, Hispanic Americans, who are the beneficiaries of racial based college admission policy.

4.    Attack the racial based policy which victimizes poor, hardworking Asian American students by giving favorable treatment to better-off families from other minority groups.

5.    Point out the best approach to help other minorities is to improve their education, not to limit qualified Asian American students.

6.    Point out setting Quota by elite schools violates Supreme Court Ruling of 1978 「California vs. Bakke」.
