This dissertation examines the political and discursive struggles around the dismantling of race-based admissions policies in an elite public high school in San Francisco. Firstly, it analyzes in detail the arguments put forth by plaintiffs in and the media's depiction of the case, Brian Ho, Patrick Wong, & Hilary Chen v. SFUSD.1 The Ho lawsuit was filed by a group of Chinese Americans to challenge race-based admissions policies that were intended to ensure diversity by giving special consideration to African-American and Latino students. Chinese Americans actively invoked the Asian American Model Minority Myth to shift the debate away from the core issue of desegregation to one that focused on merit and racial preferences. The decision in favor of the plaintiffs effectively ended school desegregation, racial balance, and affirmative action in San Francisco.

520 $a This dissertation examines the political and discursive struggles around the dismantling of race-based admissions policies in an elite public high school in San Francisco. Firstly, it analyzes in detail the arguments put forth by plaintiffs in and the media's depiction of the case, Brian Ho, Patrick Wong, & Hilary Chen v. SFUSD.1 The Ho lawsuit was filed by a group of Chinese Americans to challenge race-based admissions policies that were intended to ensure diversity by giving special consideration to African-American and Latino students. Chinese Americans actively invoked the Asian American Model Minority Myth to shift the debate away from the core issue of desegregation to one that focused on merit and racial preferences. The decision in favor of the plaintiffs effectively ended school desegregation, racial balance, and affirmative action in San Francisco.
520 $a I argue that the Ho plaintiffs were able to take advantage of the dominant racial construction of Asian Americans and neoconservative discourse on reverse racism to portray themselves as victims of discrimination. Further, their successful discursive strategy relied on contrasting constructions of Black and Latino students as undeserving and unqualified beneficiaries of affirmative action.
520 $a Secondly, the dissertation examines the consequences of the decision in the Ho case and its successful invoking of contrasting constructions of Blacks, Latinos and Asian Americans on student attitudes and dynamics. Through a long-term survey and interview study of the first cohort of students to enter after the Ho decision race was taken out of admissions considerations, this study documents the impacts of these constructions on white, Chinese, Black and Latino students' attitudes toward views of affirmative action, racial diversity, and fairness and on relations among groups. On a more specific level, I analyze how students, who had experienced the change in desegregation and affirmative action policies, formulated viewpoints and opinions around racial diversity and racial stereotypes.
