More than half of Asian American adults who have heard of affirmative action believe it has a positive impact, according to a new poll. The new study comes as the Supreme Court prepares to rule on the matter this later month.
Jabin Botsford / The Washington Post via Getty Images fileA new Pew Research Center study on affirmative action released Thursday, as the Supreme Court prepares to rule on the matter later this month, shows that more than half of Asian American adults who have heard of affirmative action say it’s a positive thing.
“It’s not attached to a policy. It’s just saying, ‘Should race be considered?’ The way the law works, race can only be considered as one of many, many, many other factors and it can never be the primary factor, but the question wording makes it sound like it could be the primary factor,” Wong said. “There’s lots of different ways it could be interpreted and so that’s why we see that difference.”
But the concept of affirmative action was interpreted favorably across most Asian demographic subgroups by those who have heard of it, researchers found. Roughly 60% of Indian adults, 50% of Korean adults, and 48% of Vietnamese adults said affirmative action is a good thing.
