[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UC uses proxy measures to achieve diversity of backgrounds which include race. I would not say though that UCs are overly Asian or that it would be shocking to someone from the DMV unless you live in area with no Asian students. If your kid is going for engineering or premed then he or she will be in classes with mostly Asian students at most top and mid schools.[/quote]

It was shocking to my Hispanic kid from Texas…..Yes he is in Engineering, but 80% of his classmates are Asian….Not sure how is this is good for the state…..Please dont start with “that is how it is in Engineering”….no it is now….my other kid is a Junior at Michigan….same Engineering program….Asians in his program are less than 35%…[/quote]

About 3.5% of Michigan’s population is Asian. About 18% of  California’s population is Asian.

To population Michigan is about 10 million
The population of CA is about 40 million

350,000 Asians in Michigan 
7.6 million Asians in California

Does it make more sense now?

Get where this is going?[/quote]
