Then do you like add all the Blacks from all schools in MA to come up with Black student %? Harvard + MIT + Tufts + BC + BU + Northeasetrn + etc = probably over 70% LMFAO |

Those are private schools. Of course not. Discussion was on a state school system, so yes, state demographics is a plausible discussion point. You're not too bright. |

| If they stop taking federal money and start paying taxes as for profit businesses then they can do whatever they want, just like K-12 private schools. |

K-12 schools don't pay taxes |

Well, the college I attended would have been all male, virtually all white, and the majority of the students were from a relatively small number of prep schools. Many, including at least one former president, were legacy students. The “Gentleman’s C” was not viewed as an embarrassment, and mediocre grades were usually not an impediment to pursuing many quite lucrative careers. |

"Admission of California freshmen reached an all-time high with 84,223 students and 36,462 of them, or 43%, are students from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups. Latinos were the largest group admitted for the second year in a row, making up 37%. Asian Americans made up 34%, white students 20% and Black students 5%. The rest were American Indians, Pacific Islanders or those who declined to state their race or ethnicity, officials said." 5% black admission vs 6 % CA population. Still underrepresented but not bad. When there aren't any systemic anti-black barriers to education, progress can be made. |

If you don’t recognize the possibility that tests can be biased in many ways, then you might want to educate yourself, particularly if you’re going to lean on the CAPS key. |

They look at AMC12 and AIME and USAMO and IMO and other activities as well. |

What’s your working definition of “objective “? When people know so little about the process of test construction, norming, and validating, yet insist — with nothing to support their assertions— that only “a culture of victimhood” could possibly account for questioning an assessment tool, it’s anything but comical. I might agree with you about the “fall of Rome” though — albeit for very different reasons. |

They also added geographic diversity to keep down the Jews who tend to cluster in a few cities. |

umm.. right there are plenty of schools in CA and in the US so no need to artificially shove them into specific shcools. Berkely 2% and UCLA 3% withoug SAT, but overall inclduing all the schools, it's not bad right? I totally agree. |

I understand the point you were trying to make but you would't usually say "the Jews." Also, can you provide your source for this? I'm interested in learning a little more of this history. |
