Gonna keep sharing this: the majority of Asian Americans support race conscious admissions. There are those in EVERY community that are willing to be used by the powers that be, to maintain the status quo. They do not represent most of us!

It is important to acknowledge, as the authors do, that saturation is currently limited to only one ancestral group. Out of the 5.4 million samples that were included, 4 million were from participants of European ancestry; fewer than 78,000 were from those of South Asian ancestry
