[Anonymous]

Graduated from Stanford in the late 80s. 39% of our class was URM, so yes, there are starting to be lots of legacies.

FWIW - today, Stanford is 42.5% white, 22.9% asian and 7.8% black, 6.5% mexican/chicano and 6.1% other hispanic (interesting they distinguish).

Likely yes. I am looking at top school websites now with my DS. Most of the elite schools have 12-18 percent international. Again, we spend so much time arguing about one group, while we don't consider others.

I have yet to hear a good argument against affirmative action. Most people think affirmative action means that "less qualified" minorities are purposely selected over "higher qualified" majority candidates. In theory this can happen, but in practice, its hardly the case. When it is the case, the rate of acceptance is no different then when a majority candidate with lesser scores are accepted over a superior majority candidates.

Why isn't anyone suing when this happens? I'll tell you why. Because the majority needs an enemy. Yesterday it was AAs, Jews, and hispanics. Today its all poor AAs families, Mexican immigrants, and anyone who identifies as Muslim. Whose it going to be tomorrow?

uhh what top schools are majority white?

50-60% of the white would be Jewish for Stanford and Ivies.

wow - jewish people are definitely the smartest in the world. 2-3% of the US, 20-25% of stanford/ivies.

Why do people point at asians say they are over represented when the magnitude of student body concentration vs. population concentration is much smaller than the jewish numbers?

Perhaps 60% to 70% of white students.

I am not sure if you are one of those conspiracy theorists seeing Jewish folks behind everything, but I can tell you from direct experience at Stanford that no more than 15-20% of white folks there are Jewish.

On April 17, 1967, the result of a survey published by the New York Times stated that about 40% of student at Columbia and the University of Pennsylvania were Jewish. At Yale, Harvard and Cornell the Jewish students were between 20 and 25%, while between 13 and 20% students at Dartmouth, Princeton and Brown were believed to be Jewish.

Mind you, the Jewish population of the United States is less than 2%.

The Toronto-born Islamophobe Jewish writer, author and former speechwriter for Dubya Bush, David Frum, admitted in an article published in pro-Israel Jewish magazine The Beast on February 13, 2013 that Jewish students are overrepresented in the Ivy League institutions.

Hillel, a leading pro-Israel international Jewish campus advocacy group’s 2009 data indicated that Jewish students at Harvard, Brown, Columbia and Penn made up 25 percent of respective undergraduate populations, and at Yale and Cornell, the number was 22 percent. The lowest Jewish enrolement was found at Princeton (13%) and Dartmouth (11 %). Rabbi Julie Roth, the executive director of the Center for Jewish Life (CJL) has been leading a campaign to see the percentage jump to 20% at Princeton and Dartmouth.
