[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the WF students and recent grads I know are wealthy conservative whites. I only know one who comes from a moderate liberal family.

My two cents: people pay a lot of money to wrap their snowflakes in a preppy bubble at WF. I think that’s weird. [/quote]

That’s more a commentary on your circle than Wake.  My left leaning daughter is very happy there.[/quote]

It’s not a friends and family circle, pp.

My work provides a big network, and there’s a lot of interesting observations about affluent whites sending their kids south to affluent white bubbles.

I’m glad your kid is enjoying it.

But the thread is more about how odd some parents and students find a campus with a rich, white preppy vibe.

Ftr, I’m a bleeding heart liberal. [/quote]

It’s not an affluent white bubble, how quick you are to discount a third of the student body.[/quote]

Eh, at least some of the 7.5% Latinos probably appear white, rich, and preppy.

That leaves roughly 12.5% black and Asian plus 3+% who identify as mixed.

So, not a lot of noticeable diversity. [/quote]

Wow, you are a weirdo.  When the facts don’t agree with your perceptions, invent some new ones.[/quote]

ICYMI: many Latinos are white.

Have you ever filled out paperwork? I’m non-Hispanic Caucasian…as compared with the Hispanic caucasians. That’s how demographics work because…Latino is an ethnicity, not a skin color.

This post is about optics.

The vibe at WF is rich, white preppies.

Using Latino numbers to bolster diversity is a stretch since most Latinos are…white. [/quote]
