Dear Editor: This regards BAMN’s behavior (“No Compromise,” April 26).
I am a strong supporter of affirmative action and am always dismayed to read the same misinformed, popular white mythology in opposition to affirmative action as “reverse racism.”
However, it did not surprise me that — unlike all other diversity rallies at U.C. Berkeley — violence against Telegraph Avenue area shops and people by mass-imported high school students, was associated with “a BAMN event” rally back in March. According to one observer, who strongly supports affirmative action, but opposes violence, a BAMN speaker implicitly encouraged the violence that day as part of some “world-wide revolution.”
