"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
从知识经济的角度看,这是一个损害美国长远经济竞争力的提案。虽然知识经济的比重增加大大超越在经济总量中知识人口的增加。但是这小部分的知识人口的作用是巨大的,我们看微软和苹果公司的知识人口和他们拥有的经济总量是不成正比的。以后随着生物科技的发展寿命的延长,退休年龄的大幅延迟。可以预计硕士都是非常普通的学位。德国就是一个硕士学位的大学教学体系。这个提案是一个弱智的法案,把一个勤奋学习的聪明民族学生排除在外,只会使得其他民族更加懒惰与学习,这最终将美国变成一个非洲国。如果加州的华人都搬走了,加州的大学排名必定降低,即使这些被照顾的民族成员上了大学,如果坏的名声在企业中建立起来了。就业也是非常困难的。你不要以为电影中黑人的程序员被误导,实际上在 IT 工业第一线中看不到他们的身影。IT招聘时的歧视是长期的现实情况所形成的。如果华人的政治家能够从这个角度去说服其他民族的议员是非常有力,就说一个橄榄球职业的年轻亚洲人如行,我是俱乐部的老板我都会歧视我的同胞。

【附录4】给议员写信的样板
Dear California State Assembly Members:
1/30/2014 marked one of the darkest days in California’s
recent history of politics. On this day, the California Senate, controlled by
the Democratic supermajority, approved Senate Constitution Amendment No. 5 (SCA
5), which would repeal provisions of Prop 209 and allow the State of California
to deny an individual or group's rights to public education on the basis of
race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin.
To understand SCA 5, we have to remember what Prop. 209 is.
In November 1996, Proposition 209 (also known as the California Civil Rights
Initiative) amended the state constitution to prohibit state government
institutions from discriminating against, or granting preferential treatment to, 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. In the 18 years that Prop 209 has been in
effect, California has become the most diversified state in the US. Also, we
fully support comprehensive measures having since been introduced to help
students from disadvantaged families obtain higher education.
Now SCA 5 seeks to REMOVE any mentioning of “public
education” in Prop. 209. The bill even wants to REMOVE University of California
and public schools from the definition of State Government Institutions. This
will unfairly roll back the clock to discriminate a student simply based on
her/his race. If it succeeds, what will be next in its supporters’ minds to be
removed between other two areas (public employment and public contracting) in
Prop. 209?
The 14th Amendment of the US Constitution clearly states
that no state shall deny to any person within it... 查看完整评论
