Abstract:
|
The goal of this paper is to investigate whether assimilation will bring resistance to affirmative action among Asian Americans, which centers on the following questions. First, does assimilation increase opposition to affirmative action? Second, does racial discrimination strengthen the endorsement of affirmative action? Third, does ethnic identity work as a counter factor that reduces the strength of the opposition? I expect that assimilation should a have significant effect on Asians’ attitudes toward affirmative action after taking ethnic identity and discrimination into account. |
