Citing the drop in under-represented minorities on campus, especially African Americans

From what I've heard, Whites (Euro-Americans), are under-represented on campus. I've heard that 60% of the students are Asian.

CB,
At many schools, Asians do not count as minorities, particularly in graduate admissions or professional programs like law. Same thing with Jewish applicants.

You'll see most schools have a group with the acronym "ALANA" or some derivation of those letters. It means, "African American, Latino, and Native American".

By and large unless you're one of those, you ain't a minority- common sense does not apply.

I'm sure whites are underrepresented, but I don't know what the hell a Euro-American is.

"African Americans represented just 2.4 percent of the 2004 entering class at UC Berkeley, down from 3.5 percent in 2003. The numbers show a downward trend — 562 admitted black students in 1997 compared to 211 admitted black students for 2004."

*and*

"Asian students made up 39 percent of those admitted to UC Berkeley in 2003."

Well, yes, whites would be underrepresented compared to their proportion of the California population. Depending how you define "white", of course. So when will genetic testing be required for college admission?

Let's make the NFL,NBA and MLB also mirror the demographic mix. Fat chance. These rules only apply when the liberals want them.
