You're right, the real story here is Gonzaga's 7% Hispanic student population when 33% of D.C. Catholics are Hispanic.

What % of Gonzaga is from DC, not MD or VA?

How many non-white Catholics do you know?

Um, a lot. Something like 1/3 of Catholics in the U.S. are Latino.

And you know them personally in the DC area?

I'm Latino and Catholic and live in D.C.

1/3 of the Catholics that you personally know in the DC area?

I don't know all the Catholica on the D.C. area. Do you?

You guys are using stats that aren't applicable to kids who go to a 30k/year private all male school. Many of these boys are white country club kids. It doesn't matter that "1/3 of Catholics in the U.S. are Latino.", that's not what's going on in this scenario. Your logic is a fallacy.

So you're saying if Gonzaga's tuition was $4,000 less they'd double the number of Black kids they're serving? SJC is 20% Black and tuition is not materially less than Gonzaga's.

The 9% enrollment is a choice made by the school, not the students.

Where does anyone say anything about doubling numbers based on tuition $? Gonzaga does not pull from the average Catholic home. It's not just about the cost. Many kids come from Arlington- do you know how many are not white? None. Gonzaga is a status symbol for rich white kids. Its not about Catholic kids.

African Americans make up 50% of DC, though.

Do you know any who wanted to go to Gonzaga but were denied admission?

Are you fishing for plaintiffs? You’ve asked twice, but nobody’s biting.

There are plenty. You have catholic school’s that are almost all Black like Carroll in DC.

My parish in Silver Spring is like the United Nations. In addition, the majority of Catholic deacons in the Washington archdiocese are black.

How many of those families send their kids to Gonzaga?

This is why in the 4th quarter of the football game when they all take off their shirts the other schools call it a "white out".

It's one of the biggest DC Catholic schools.

DP: I think PP is attempting to imply that the reason there are so few Black students at Gonzaga compared to the other DC Catholic high schools is because none apply, which, of course, is a silly circular argument.

The ADW includes local MD: Calvert, Charles, Montgomery, Prince George's and St. Mary's counties are all in the ADW.

Gonzaga friends, your attempts to explain away these statistics just keep reinforcing that you don't know much about area Catholics outside of your own school.

Perhaps HSPT scores play a role? Grades? Feeder schools?
