In reply to Christopher M.. I think you confused I-200 with I-1000. I-200 clearly states "The state shall not discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in the operation of public employment, public education, or public contracting.". I-1000, on the other hand, attempted to allow race to be used in public employment, public education, public contracting. Voters rejected I-1000 in November, 2019.

My previous comments have not been approved.
Let’s see if this one makes it.
Asians, Jews, Blacks, and others have been and continue to be discriminated against. I200 removed the protections that were put in place to ensure that they had a fair chance.
I wish POC could walk into a job interview and NOT be judged on anything other than their skills, but that isn’t what happens. You all know the stereotypes, that is what many (not all by any means) employers see.
Repealing I200 means that you, or your child, or your spouse, or a friend may get a chance to use those hard-earned degrees to prove you can do the job and maybe to open one previously closed mind.

In reply to Me.

Well, we are NOT the ones that giving out false info about veterans. The Pro side is misleading people. Washington Stat Veterans Bar Association issued a statement on their site saying: “R – 88 will hurt veterans by eliminating Veterans Preference” https://www.wsvba.org/reject-r-88 Read yourself. Also Seattle Times editorial board admitted the flaw and said “Voters should remember that these details are easily addressed by amending the legislation.”

In reply to Lu Chang. No for me - especially since your supporters gave out FALSE info about veterans and what this ref would do. SHAME ON YOU, how UN-American.

In reply to Lu Chang. Fully agree. Why are we choosing to replace hard work and dedication to your education and career with handouts. Hard work should be applauded and valued. and not punished.
