[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you ever visited California?  Or Los Angeles?  Or the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)?

If you have then you would find the premise that any if the UCs, UCLA included, is racist - laughable at best and race-baiting at worst.

It is hands down one of the most liberal, open-minded, forward-thinking, live-and-let-live, accepting, progressive, diverse Universities; in one of the most liberal, open-minded, forward-thinking, live-and-let-live, accepting, progressive, diverse Cities; in arguably the most liberal, open-minded, forward-thinking, live-and-let-live, accepting, progressive, diverse State that has ever existed in the history of this world.

That said, the past decades' out-migration of African Americans - a historically important, culturally rich, and significant community in California - from the State of California to other States and regions of this country, is a loss to California, and the question of why this is happening should be examined.[/quote]I hear what you're sayin and mostly agree but the fact is that only 4% of the student body is African American.[/quote]

The reason that only four percent of the UCLA student body is African American is because, as the post you quoted describes, California has in the last few decades seen an unfortunate and significant outmigration of its historically important, culturally rich, and politically significant African American communities to other States and parts of the country.  If you compare the African American population percentages of Los Angeles and San Francisco to those if other large U.S. major metropolitan areas, you would be surprised at how low they are.  It is truly sad, but you will find every other segment of California's population becoming more diverse, eve as African American representation in California's population decreases fairly dramatically.[/quote]
