[quote=Anonymous]I'm all for diversity, but I find it interesting that some posters hold up schools that have 10 percent african american students as being "non-diverse," and 30 percent "diversity" doesn't count if it includes Asians and Latin Americans. According to the 2000 census, african americans make up 12.3 percent of the United States population, Asians 3.6 percent and Latinos 12.5 percent. A 30 percent representation of all three would mirror the racial makeup of the country. I realize that this does not reflect the racial percentages in the Washington area, but the schools being discussed pull students from the nation as a whole. I think people are using diversity standards that should appropriately apply to, say, a Washington, D.C. private elementary school, as a frame of reference for these schools. [/quote]
