In the wake of the Supreme Court's decision to strike down Affirmative Action, Overachiever Magazine, an Asian publication, remains committed to just and equal opportunity for our Black and Latinx peers in the face of systemic anti-Blackness and racism.
We will not align ourselves with White Supremacist interests that claim to somehow serve Asian populations, because we know that Affirmative Action only helps to promote the leveling of a playing field built upon institutional inequality.
Remember that this May, we're celebrating the past, present, & future of Asian communities throughout the diaspora & we want to amplify YOUR voice. Happy Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month!

(2/7) Our critical discourse analysis shows how select, vocal group of Asian American parents, backed by conservative legal representation, frame themselves as victims of racism in magnet school admission changes. This reinforces anti-Black views and unequal status quo.
