      ab: This article examines the perception of Asian Americans as having distinct group interests, diverging from other communities of color, both by conservatives and Asian American intellectuals dedicated to multiracial solidarity. It focuses on two pivotal moments: the 1980s campaign at UC Berkeley against changes in admissions criteria and a 1994 legal challenge to San Francisco's desegregation policies, which influenced Asian Americanists' views on education. These scholars argued that anti-Asian discrimination in education needed acknowledgment within broader racial justice frameworks, yet their focus on a unified Asian American interest sometimes overshadowed the varied disadvantages faced by different subgroups within the community, complicating efforts to form robust multiracial alliances.
