UC Berkeley Hypocrisy: Exclude Asians as Students—Want Boalt Name Off of Law School Building

UC Berkeley limits the number of Asians it allows to enroll, though qualified.  Just because they are Asian.  Yet, at the same time the powers to be at Cal want to get the name Boalt off the law school building.  So, the folks that bar Asians from enrolling, want to delete the Boalt name because he wanted to exclude Asians from Californians.  Shouldn’t the entire Administration, especially the enrollment office, be fired—for the same reason they want the Boalt named removed.

“In the spring of 2017, law school Dean Erwin Chemerinsky said it was brought to his attention that John Boalt — after whom the building wing is named because of a donation from his wife, Elizabeth Boalt — was a leading advocate of the Chinese exclusion policy. In his text “The Chinese Question,” John Boalt presented negative views about Black people, Native Americans and Chinese people, according to a document released Monday by Chemerinsky.

“Boalt made deeply offensive and racist statements,” Chemerinsky said in a statement. “These views, which supported the despicable Chinese exclusion policy of the 19th century, raise serious questions about whether we should continue to use the name Boalt in connection with our law school.”

Which is more important—racist wording by Boalt or the racist actions by the UC Berkeley Administration?  Obviously Cal is racist by action.
