[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Notre Dane has poor diversity figures. Look it up.[/quote] Botre Dame is a Catholic school created to educate Catholic young adults from back in the day when Catholics were openly discriminated against and not wanted at all the waspy schools. It's heritage and its mission are essentially Catholic. Catholics in the US are historically working and middle class, white, western European. Back in the time when ND was formed, this meant Irish, Italians, Polish, Spanish, French and Portuguese, among others. In modern times Catholic in the US is significantly Hispanic. Notre Dame specifically is traditionally Irish Catholic. You don't get much whiter than an Irish Catholic. Of course a Catholic university still holding on to its Catholic identity, is going to be disproportionately Catholic and all that usually represents. Anyone who complains about this is just being contrary and foolish.[/quote] All that talk and no figures. ND has 4% black students. Less than 1% Native American. Not 3% international and so on.[/quote] V[b]ery few African Americans and Native Americans are Catholic.[/quote][/b] 4% of Catholics are black. That's a lot ofo people. Why isn't ND out there marketing to them and other blacks who would be thrilled to go to ND even if not Catholic? Black Catholicism or African-American Catholicism comprises the African American people, beliefs, and practices in the Catholic Church. from wiki: There are currently around three million Black Catholics in the United States, making up 6% of the total population of African Americans, who are mostly Protestant, and 4% of American Catholics.[/quote]
