WASHINGTON, Aug. 24 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Today, the Asian American Justice Center (AAJC), a national civil and human rights organization, raised concerns about the paucity of Asian Pacific Islander Americans (APIA) on the list of nominees for the 58th Emmy Awards.

The Supreme Court's equal protection jurisprudence designates all legislation identifying race-based categories for differential treatment as "suspect" and subject to "strict scrutiny." Similarly, legislative differentiation based on national-origin classification is also subject to this strict scrutiny standard. Although the Court has established that legislative national-origin classification is suspect and subject to strict scrutiny, the Court has yet to articulate a comprehensive method of analysis reflecting national origin-based discrimination in the United States. Equal protection challenges to the categorization of Latinos in affirm...
