[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very happy that this thread moved from weird racism to cultural conversation. With schools getting as low as 2% black, it’s difficult to imagine though why most high achieving black students would be interested in the social environment.[/quote]

But that’s based on a false, and somewhat racist premise you posited:

“Black students are only interested in socializing with other Black students at a university” ??[/quote]

I don't know if the black students at my ivy were only interested in socializing with each other, but many of them were primarily interested in socializing with each other. The non strawman version of the premise might be racist, but it is not false.[/quote]

This is not unique to black students of course. If black students are not interested in schools that are only 2% black, where is the line for white people? Lots of white flight data to suggest white people want an environment that is wayyyyy whiter than 2% white.[/quote]

Most people (of all skin tones) do not enjoy the experience of multiculturalism. Revealed preferences.[/quote]
