[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a brown URM I would never choose a LAC or SLACK because they tend to lack racial diversity. Public flagships have more people that look like me. [/quote]

For the more rural LACs that can be true, but [b]many LACs have a strong diversity of students, especially those that are more selective. You should check out their Common Data Sets to see the numbers.[/quote]

I have yet to find one. Would love to be pointed in that direction. I suspect we may have different ideas of "strong diversity."[/quote]

Nobody is real life actually cares about “diversity.” It’s all bogus and smoke and mirrors. Ideally, I want my kids are smart, ambitious and rich — I frankly could not care less about the racial makeup. [/quote]

We are white and our DCs are white. Both of them paid attention to demography stats when reading about and touring schools. They did not want to attend schools that were less diverse than their current high school. [/quote]

It’s always interesting to get insight into how some people think.  People who don’t value diversity and don’t think that knowing and learning from a broad range of people is a great thing really can’t comprehend why it’s important to people who do value diversity.  They assume that when people responds to the silly “nobody cares” post by saying “I care” that it must somehow be performative.  They really just can’t fathom that we’d rather be around a lot of different kinds of people.

And everybody clapped. :roll: [/quote][/quote]
