Having scored victories in California, Washington and Texas, as well as setbacks in the U.S. Congress and state legislatures around the country, opponents of affirmative action have set their sights on a more subtle target. In response to California's Proposition 209, which banned state and municipal affirmative action programs, San Diego County refused to collect and report the racial demographics of its public work force. The assault on racial data collection has been led by opponents of civil rights enforcement and couched in the rhetoric of "color-blindness" and dismantling bureaucracy that has characterized anti-affirmative action campaigns.
