[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The first thing I noticed was there were a lot of Asians, then I noticed there were a lot of girls. Then I looked again at the middle and saw the Indian guy and thought he counts as Asian. Then I looked for the white males and noticed they were all in the back. Then I noticed the one guy not smiling. Then I noticed the older looking guy on the left and wondered if he was some sort of professor.  Then I noticed a lot of them were wearing blue.  Then I saw the one girl with the pink shirt and really red face. Then I noticed there weren't any AAs.

Overall 12 women, 16 men, 12 Asians, possibly one Hispanic, 15 whites.[/quote]

Thank you for highlighting my point. You can look at a picture with a large number of people and not realize that 15% of the US population is not represented in that photo. In 2013. SMH.[/quote]

Why is this so shocking? AA go onto college in much lower numbers that the ethnicities represented in the picture, they graduate HS at lower rates than the ethnicities represented in the picture. It is probably a pretty accurate representation of the sampling of higher education, especially in a study a rigorous as statistics. [/quote]
