Black 6%
Asian 12%
Latinx 16%
Multiracial 11%
White 40%
Did not report 6%
International 10%

Note: most internationals are Asian, most do not reports are Asian, and many of the multiracial category.

Adjusted for internationals and likely 'did not report's, this percentage approaches the percentage of the domestic student population which is ~50%
What everyone seems to be missing as far as the white percentage here is it means:

- Amherst’s class is now 60% BIPOCs.

That is really the only meaningful takeaway here.
