^ This would depend on what circumstances cause the D candidate to oppose race-based affirmative action favoring black, Latine, Native American, and some Asian applicants from disadvantaged backgrounds. I think the status quo helps white applicants more than underrepresented minority applicants, at the expense of domestic Asian applicants.Anti-climate action D: Neither
