One thing I found interesting is seeing Asian faces in groups supporting race conscious college admission policies that goes directly against their interest and stereotypes Asians as book nerds lacking personality and leadership qualities. Often they are 3rd or later generation immigrants whose parents and grandparents fought discrimination and worked excessively hard to get them where they are today—comfy middle/middle-upper class via emphasis on education as the stepping stone to prosperity. Now they are working to make it more difficult for less well off Asians to attain better lives.
