My sense of it is that the Occupy crowd is almost entirely college-educated. As I recall their demands are forgiveness of student loans and automatic jobs for people with degrees in XYZ studies. (XYZ = Women’s/Asian/African/Ethnic)

Now yes I am assuming that the black proportion of this subgroup is as small as 1%....

The black dropout rate in college is much higher than the white dropout rate...at least it used to be.

Blame affirmative action admissions for that fiasco. Lower standards in most cases lead to lower performance, except in some cases where the less able student has a real work ethic.
