ALLISON: "Or what about discriminating against people of color? Can we, like, keep the -- because I agree that Jewish students should be safe. I agree with that. I think that I become a better debater and a smarter person when I actually get to have discourse with people like you that I don't mostly agree with on the political views, but I also get a seat at the table and I don't get to be discriminated against, and black people and brown people and queer people also don't. So, if we're going to protect one class, can we agree to protect all classes?"

JENNINGS: "What university is doing that? I agree, but what university is doing that?"

ALLISON: "I just want to know what is it — "

JENNINGS: "What class of people right now on American campuses is being -- is facing the kind of pushback that Jewish students are anywhere, anywhere?"

ALLISON: "Well, we do know -- we do know, since the affirmative action decision that came down about 18 months ago, that the number of people of color who have been admitted to institutions have decreased because that's a policy that actually insures — "

JENNINGS: "Do you include Asian students in the people of color?"

ALLISON: "Yeah, their numbers are down too."
