We are outside the Supreme Court now. Many students of color face educational barriers BECAUSE of their race. Affirmative action simply takes this factor into account, bc ignoring race means ignoring the systemic disadvantages that BIPOC students unfairly endure. #DefendDiversity

"Affirmative action is successful because it opens doors for people who would otherwise be excluded — and because it recognizes that everyone benefits from having diverse perspectives at the table."

If the Supreme Court ends the program, first-generation students like me will continue to face inequities when it comes to higher education.

We love to hear more Okinawan voices and experiences! Thank you for making this episode (and your entire podcast, as well)! One small correction is that Sanshin originates from China, it is from the 三弦 Sanxian.
