So, what’s the percentage of incoming freshmen who are white (INCLUDING “other”)? 28.1% — well BELOW the percentage of whites in California (42.3%). And BTW, note that this table shows that the percentage of the selectively designated “oppressed” minority admissions is NOT shrinking — it’s remarkably level. The drop they ballyhoo is the ending in 1996 of the disastrous and discriminatory quota system that existed before we passed Prop 209 to make such discrimination illegal.
This bill is not about countering white privilege. It’s about setting up DE FACTO quotas for ASIANS — which constitute a (supposedly evil) disproportionately high 36% of admissions vs. 14.9% of the CA population. Apparently these Asian kids “act white” FAR better than even WHITE kids act white! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_California”
