| California Hispanics Shock Democrats by Opposing Affirmative Action Referendum |
| 2020-11-23 |
| [PJ] Proposition 16 in California, which would have allowed "diversity" to be a factor in hiring and school admissions, went down in flames on Election Day, largely because several majority-Hispanic counties voted against it. It wasn’t even close. While pro-affirmative action groups and every major Democratic organization in the state backed the measure and supporters outspent opponents $20 million to $1.5 million, the measure still lost by 14 points. It was a shocking defeat, especially since all the major Hispanic groups backed the measure. But something funny happened on the way to climbing aboard the diversity train; it had already left the station long ago. Hispanics in California are a political and economic force to be reckoned with. And their growing numbers have allowed them to flex those muscles — without the benefit of government quota systems. |

| #5 The Party can't allow mere voters to determine what's good for them. Yes, far too important to be left up to the proles to decide for themselves. |

| #3 ...like they did to knock down the ban on same sex marriage. However, with the Trump appointments they're not going to get such a friendly reception in the judiciary. However, you are right. They'll continue to violate 'equal protection' till they start criminally prosecuting the people in the institutions who keep doing it, eliminating 'qualified immunity'. |

| #2 ...I suspect Prop 16 is still going to happen, just not legally. The Party can't allow mere voters to determine what's good for them. Mike |

| #1 Hispanic citizens, if not the activists, realize they will always be second in line under such a scheme. |
