就在加州华人乃至全球华人为种族主义的Prop 16加州xf修正案被加州民众公投否决欢欣鼓舞的时候,加州大学校长办公室公然发表了藐视加州人民决定的声明。
标题很漂亮,是这样说的:《UC to continue to champion diverse student body despite rejection of Proposition 16》(哪怕Prop 16被拒绝,加州大学将继续引领学生构成的多元化)

声明对加州人民的决定表示了失望。当然,声明再次明确了加州xf规定的,拒绝在高等教育和其它领域将种族、民族和性别作为录用考虑。但措辞用了“将近四分之一世纪之前”的说法,意思是规定太老旧了,该改了。
"The University of California is disappointed that Proposition 16, the state ballot measure and constitutional amendment that would have repealed Proposition 209, did not pass in this election. Proposition 16 would have helped reverse the detrimental and far-reaching initiative that banned the consideration of race, ethnicity and gender in admissions across public higher education, and other arenas, almost a quarter-century ago".
声明表示加州大学将坚持致力于吸引和支持能够反映加州活力和多元化的学生结构,将继续不屈不挠地扩大未被充分代表的群体。
这是什么意思呢?意思是,加州的某个种族人口比例如果为38%的话,那么,他们在加州大学的学生比例最好也差不多这个比例。这是非常荒谬绝伦的想法!也许,这个很理想,如果所有种族对教育的重视以及接受教育的意愿和条件都差不多的话。但这个理想是一个很庞大的历史任务,需要一步步来,从基础教育做起,提升全民的教育水平,而不是在大学录取上大做文章。
这就像,美国发达了,很多外国留学生蜂拥而入,然后,有些国家的管理者认为外国留学生多就意味着国家发达,于是大肆倒贴,希望拉来更多外国留学生凑数。这是典型的倒果为因!
加州大学如此倒果为因,在有种族针对性地降低大学录取的门槛上大做文章,他们的管理层,实在是不配在这样尊贵的位置上。
“UC remains steadfast in its commitment to attract and support a student body that reflects California’s dynamism and diversity, despite this setback,” said UC President Michael V. Drake, M.D. “We will continue our unwavering efforts to expand underrepresented groups’ access to a UC education.”
加州大学校董会再次表达了对加州人民这次决定的失望,认为这是一个非常不幸的继续。
The UC Board of Regents supported the passage of ACA 5, which became Proposition 16, a move that acknowledged the serious need to address systemic inequities in public higher education. By repealing Proposition 209, Proposition 16 would have ended the prohibition on granting preferential treatment to(or discriminating against)any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in the operation of public employment, public education or public contracting. The rejection of this ballot measure is an unfortunate continuation of the status quo.
声明表示,加州大学致力于解决种族不公平的努力极大地被州xf的相关规定给阻碍了。而Prop 16的被拒绝意味着阻碍将继续存在。声明将很多学生和家庭都拉了进来。声明表示拒绝加大校园中的不平等,将继续致力于解决种族和性别的不平等。
所以,加州大学的领导们,应该是认为华人太重视读书,在加州大学的比例过高吧。看来,读书好也是错,是造成不平等的重要原因。这种平等的定义,不要也罢!
“The University of California’s efforts to address racial inequities were greatly hindered by Proposition 209,” said UC Regents Chair John A. Pérez. “The failure of Proposition 16 means barriers will remain in place to the detriment of many students, families and California at large. We will not accept inequality on our campuses and will continue addressing the inescapable effects of racial and gender inequity.”
声明总是提到性别,但实际上,主要是针对种族。下面这段文字更是充分体现了他们的真正想法。全部提到的都是种族。
UC has a longstanding commitment to enrolling a diverse student body, one that reflects California’s flourishing cultural, racial, geographic and socioeconomic heterogeneity. After the implementation of Proposition 209, the University saw a sharp decline in the admission and enrollment of students from historically underrepresented racial and ethnic groups. On every UC campus, the percentage of new California-resident, underrepresented freshmen decreased. While racial and ethnic diversity have improved in the past two decades, much of that growth is attributable to systemwide enrollment growth. UC still does not reflect the diversity of California’s population. Another negative impact:The percentage of students from underrepresented groups enrolled in UC’s outreach programs dropped from 90 percent before Proposition 209 to 75 percent thereafter.
声明再次强调所谓“改善学生结构的多元化”,以便结束学生们在接受加州大学教育中面临的沟堑。
其实,我觉得,让所有学生都能在加州大学就读,这沟堑才算结束。你总是拿种族做文章,认为加州大学的学生比例不能反映种族比例的话,就是不平等,就是沟堑,那这不是种族主义是什么呢?你不应该将加州人分成这个种族那个种族的,大家都是加州人,都应该进入加州大学读书。这个道理是不是更高大上?
Despite the failure of Proposition 16, the University will continue to look for innovative and creative approaches to further improve the diversity of its student body through outreach to underserved groups, schools and communities; support for college preparation; and efforts to close equity gaps among students attaining a UC education.
最后,加州大学表示,将继续在大学录取中采取“综合性的考虑”。所以,大家看明白了吧?目前美国很多大学取消了标准化考试的入学标准,采取了所谓“综合性的考虑”,实际上并不是考虑学生的全面发展,而是完全出于种族的考虑。这些种族主义者,真的是太狡诈了!
To uphold its commitment to diversity, UC will continue comprehensive review in admissions. The holistic method is used by most campuses and seeks to fully understand and evaluate each applicant through multiple dimensions. However, excluding race and gender from that consideration continues to be a tall barrier to women and students from underrepresented groups. UC will also explore opportunities to further encourage underrepresented groups to apply for and join UC’s outstanding student body. It will utilize and refine the many race-neutral alternatives developed following Proposition 209 for both outreach and admission.
还是那句话,人口决定一切。随着种族主义多元化的荒诞主张在美国乃至全世界扩张,Prop 16的主张,恐怕终将在加州实现,只是时间问题。
以后,一个国家不是一个国家,大家不是以作为这个国家的公民而骄傲。一个国家是很多种族的大杂烩。大家以种族为界,把国家当成可以切割的大蛋糕,按照人口比例来切分。这就是极左派们所主张的平等。当然,这种主张,最终必然会被另一种极端所葬送。这种极端便是,某个种族最终在人口上占据上风,用他们种族的绝对特权来取而代之。
让我们拭目以待吧。我们正在见证大历史。极左派们正在把世界作为他们种族主义空想的试验地。马丁路德金的不分种族的梦想,早已被抛弃了。
