00:00The Supreme Court appears poised to put an end to affirmative action.
00:04Everyone is talking about this case all the time.
00:07This case is going to be something more than just about admissions.
00:11We belong here, and affirmative action is a right that we have.
00:17I think it's very frustrating that Asian Americans are a face of this,
00:21that they are a wedge on this issue.
00:23There has to be something against Asian Americans specifically.
00:26I think it's cultural discrimination.
00:28Affirmative action is under attack!
00:30If you get rid of affirmative action, you're actually taking away racial justice.
00:34Harvard is made great by its students, and its students are made great by diversity.
00:39You cannot remedy discrimination and preferences with new discrimination.
00:45When these schools are deciding who gets in,
00:48they're deciding who will have access to money, who will have access to resources,
00:52who will have access to political power.
00:54This is the most important civil rights case of our era.
