The demographic trends are illustrative. According to Joel Kotkin of Pepperdine University, nearly a third of second-generation Asians and Hispanics -- the largest ethnic minority -- marry out of their ethnic group.

In 1997, one in seven babies born in California were to parents of different races. The 2000 Census offered 63 different ways to self-identify and found that 40% of people under 25 belong to a racial or ethnic category other than "non-Hispanic white." What box does Tiger Woods check, and why should he have to check one?

it would be a watershed event, imo if the connerly bill passes...as long as there are votes to be "bought" and programs to be "sold" under the guise of diversity, it would surprise me if it happens....

i would expect the "pro" racial "profilers" to spend heavily to campaign against it.

hope that they fail.

Prop. 54's success would be a fitting rebuke to the Supreme Court (all the more potent because it would come from the nation's largest and most racially diverse state) and a public reaffirmation of the Constitution's colorblind commitment to equal protection under the law.

indeed. especially justice o'connor (whose voting record i generally admire)
