[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Almost all of the "10-15%" decline is due to less whites applying (not blacks, Hispanics or Asians) and that is the point. The PPs are explaining why that is probably so. Whites being lazy and not wanting to compete with smart Asians. It is interesting that only white applications have declined. Blacks have far smaller chance of being admitted than whites but still continue to apply at about the same number year after year. That should be commended. Whites on the other hand are applying in less numbers because either 1) "there are too many smart Asians at TJ so I am not gonna bother" or 2) "I don't want to apply if whites are not the dominant group in charge". Both reasons should be condemned.

Racist much?  Just maybe, the family and the kid don't want him to spend 2 hours per day commuting.  Maybe they realize that he can get a great education at his local school and have friends that live nearby.[/quote]

I see. There was no need to commute before and this need to stay close to friends became so important only in the last 4 or 5 years with the demographics shift. Right. [/quote]

Yes, commuting in this region has definitely gotten tougher over time.  Plenty of families are moving closer in to shorten their commutes.

Anyway, you seem to want to turn this into a chicken vs. egg debate over racism.  Whites are racist because they don't want to send their kids to schools where they won't rule the roost, the Asians are racist because they think they are superior and want to shove their own priorities down everyone else's throats, and so forth.  The fact is that, where TJ is concerned, it will likely find its own equilibrium under the current admissions standards, even if the number of applicants continues to decline for a few more years.
