   Have you read  " UGLY facts on discrimination against AsAm youth"  yet?  If not,  YOU, as an AsAm,  NEED to know these  ugly facts.                           .

       80-20 Did Its Share to Turn Lemons into Lemonade

   (1) On Aug. 2, The NY Times published a frontpage news, with the following summary: "The Trump administration is preparing to redirect resources of the civil rights division toward investigating and suing universities over affirmative action policies deemed to have discriminated 
against whites ,  a document says."   Since 80-20 deems that the investigation should be directed against discrimination against Asian Americans , EF President S. B. Woo sprang to action .   

   First, Woo submitted the following comment  to NYT, which was 
published.

     "S. B. Woo Newark, DE 1 hour ago (Had 5 "thumbs up" by then)
        To read a summary of the 
outrageous discrimination against 
        Asian American youth committed by our nation's elite colleges, 
        please click on  http://conta.cc/2w2CNCK . The AsAm community 
       is weak and dis-organized. We don't have very capable 
       spokespersons. We may also be too timid. However, if you care 
        for one of our core values of "equal opportunity for all", please 
        go take a look. " (emphasis added)
   
   Secondly, Woo emailed and called many Republican legalists and
civil rights leaders, asking to work together to turn NYT's focus on the discrimination against AsAms.  All agreed.  He also sent " UGLY facts on discrimination against AsAm youth " to one of the NYT reporters, Stephanie Saul  and  had a long conversation  with her.   See the NYT article published the next day written by Stephanie Saul and a  colleague , shown below.

    (2)  A day later, on Aug. 3 , NY Times article, published " Affirmative 
excerpts may quicken your pulse:

   "The Justice Department, which has signaled that  it is looking to investigate  ...  may well focus on Harvard .   The Harvard case asserts that the university's admissions process amounts to an illegal quota system".  
    
See the evidence of a quota  in  item 3 of "UGLY facts ..."  

    "It falls afoul of our most basic civil rights principles, and those principles are that your race and your ethnicity should not be something to be used to harm you in life nor help you in life," said Edward Blum...".  

See the evidence of a "Asian tax" in item 2 of " UGLY facts...."   

    " Justice Samuel A. Alito  Jr., in his dissent, said the Texas plan  
discriminated  against Asian-Americans , ...." .  
    
Actually 2 other Justices, including Chief justice John Roberts 
and Clarence Thomas  also saw discrimination  against 
AsAms . See  item 6  of " UGLY facts......"
  
     " The Harvard lawsuit likens attitudes toward Asian-Americans to attitudes toward Jews at Harvard, beginning around 1920, when Jews were a high-achieving minority. In 1918, Jews reached 20 percent of the Harvard freshman class, and the university soon proposed a quota to lower the number of Jewish students."  
    
Harvard no longer steps on Jews, who are politically powerful. 
However, it still  cowardly steps on AsAms who are weak &
disorganized. See  item 4  of "UGLY facts ..."       

  
     (3) To the credit of the Trump Administration and Attorney General Sessions, Dept. of Justice has signaled that it will investigate  "intentional 
race based  discrimination in college and university admissions."  It  explicitly mentioned seeking "volunteers to investigate one administrative complaint filed by a coalition of 64 Asian-American associations  in May 2015".  80-20 is one of the 64 AsAm associations.  The complaint was against Harvard.
