CA has been circumventing the prohibition on affirmative action since the mid-90s

Schools use a questionnaire as a proxy for race-based affirmative action but it produces the same result. I wrote an article on it for the Mercury News in 1998 and tactics ebb and flow but the net result is the same.

California used to be the forerunner for the U.S., but it seems that the rest of the U.S. rejects the insanity.
