And yes, I know the Pew Q is not a pure rank order Q, but it is likely to trigger similar responses because of list format

[Janelle S. Wong janellewong.bsky.social @ProfJanelleWong]

(7/7) Of course, question wording and framing matter. AAPI Data has been clear on that: https://t.co/esTw92pWBx

(6/7) AAPI Data finds consistent patterns w/ diff samples over 10 year time period. Not the only survey showing high support for affirmative action among Asian Americans - other surveys conducted by other groups find the same thing as AAPI Data’s surveys: https://t.co/pwYTkZicCj

[Janelle S. Wong janellewong.bsky.social @ProfJanelleWong]

(5/7))AAPI Data survey includes sample of registered voters, conducted in multiple languages, w/large groups of diff Asian Am ethnic groups. Pew survey - English-only, not even trying for representative sample at this point (good news, they will in future)

(4/7)In race-conscious admissions, race NEVER only or primary factor, but many think it is -may affect how they rank these different factors (test scores, etc) for Pew question. Some may not even know they are being asked about affaxn.But stat only cited w/re to these programs.

[Janelle S. Wong janellewong.bsky.social @ProfJanelleWong]

(3/7)1st question asks DIRECTLY about "affirmative action"-which is how this debate is framed, provides context- names policy & beneficiaries. Pew Q provides less context,not aligned with how admissions works. Race considered holistically, not blunt rank order with other factors.

(2/7) AAPIData"Do you favor or oppose affirmative action programs designed to help Blacks, women, and other minorities get better access to higher education?" Pew:"Here are some factors colleges and universities may consider when making decisions about student admissions [list]

[Janelle S. Wong janellewong.bsky.social @ProfJanelleWong]

(1/7) 69% registered Asian Americans support affirmative action. This statistic is from the @AAPIData #AsianAmericanVoterSurvey. How different from the question on affirmative action from @pewresearch which shows less support for "race" as factor in admission? Here you go

With quarters bearing her likeness set to ship Monday, Anna May Wong will be the first Asian American to grace U.S. currency. The honor has excited Asian Americans, especially given Wong's legacy of fighting stereotypes foisted on her by Hollywood. https://t.co/GSPEYQcD8k

“Through Monthanus we heard our voice. The powerful voice of dozens of communities speak over over 100 languages, coming together as one. This is the voice of Asian America, this is our voice.” — @danieldaekim #justice4vicha

We extend our deepest condolences to the Dheri family who lost their beautiful 8-month-old baby Aroohi, her mother Jasleen, her father Jasdeep (JB), and her uncle Amandeep (Aman) in Merced County, California to a senseless kidnapping and killing.

[Jonathan Greenblatt @JGreenblattADL]

Against the backdrop of rising anti-AAPI hate, former Pres. Trump's slander against Elaine Chao is inexcusable. American Jews know the danger of accusations of dual loyalty and name calling of this sort. It's incitement, plain and simple, and unacceptable.

@JLeeSoc @AAPIData Startling statistics … thank you for sharing!

[NLC4LAAUNCH @NLaaunch]

@WHIAANHPI @NCAPAtweets @AAPIData @CDCFound Congrats!

[Jennifer Lee 🦁 @JLeeSoc]

Black & Asian communities are often portrayed in conflict w/each other, but we share a history of solidarity. As we reckon w/racial injustice, police brutality & anti-Asian violence, we have an opportunity to relearn that history & build on our solidarity. https://t.co/zd7xAANQFZ

[NLC4LAAUNCH @NLaaunch]

@RepGraceMeng @SenSchumer @maziehirono Congratulations!

[Min Jin Lee @minjinlee11]

It is up to us to stop and prevent violence against Asians and Asian Americans. Please be aware that this problem is growing. Please be aware that rhetoric against immigrants, migrants, refugees, and Asian countries being enemies filter to ordinary people looking for a cause.

Urgent opportunity for increasing #Solidarity with Black & other communities facing horrific racist violence in #BuffaloNY; Data show awareness of anti-Asian hate rising w/ mobilization and leadership. We must work in coalition to address forces devastating other communities

[The Asian American Foundation @taaforg]

The rise of hate against AAPIs since the onset of COVID-19 has drawn attention to AAPI communities across our country that have historically been underfunded and under-resourced. Read the article on TAAF’s origins and strategic priorities by the AAPR here: https://t.co/jibfaWEquH

Americans are more likely to question the loyalty of Asian Americans and blame them for COVID-19 in 2022 than they were in 2021.
