Prop 209 doesn’t ban Affirmative Action, it only bans race based preferential treatments by government.
Prop 16 is not Affirmative Action, it only removes the ban on race based preferential treatments by government.
we already have need based aid programs to help the underprivileged, if race gets into play , the only newly added beneficiaries will be the rich people on certain ethnicity groups, and that will not be a fair situation for all the rest!
