[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Johns Hopkins is only 19% white (under-represented); 19% Hispanic; 15% Black; 29% Asian…

Curious.[/quote]

Most Latinos at hopkins are fake

I think whites have a case to be made like that of UNC.  19% is discrimination on skin color.  Their make up isn’t anywhere close to representative of US demographics.  When colleges get to the point that they are basically saying we don’t want you here (which is pretty much what every talk on many campus is), it’s discrimination.  It will be interesting to see if any of this changes after the Supreme Court case is heard.  [/quote]

Is the goal for Hopkins to match US demographics or Maryland/Baltimore? I would argue the latter, in which case they're really behind on Black too.[/quote]

I would hope it would be to not discriminate against anyone based on skin color/ethnicity.  [/quote]

Sure, and you would know that was happening when their demographics don't match...what population? Hopkins accepts a growing number of international applications (around 20%?) White people are around 15% of the world's population. So 19% for Hopkins seems fine then.[/quote]

Hopkins International population is primarily from India, China and South Korea. Facts.[/quote]

Yep. Not white.  The 19% white stat is shocking but true.  It’s very, very low considering the US population demographics.[/quote]

Is there a law that says colleges should reflect the population mix of the country, state or city where they are located?  If not, why is this an issue?  Sounds like something a communist country would do..[/quote]

It was affirmative action was designed to do, be representative.  Discrimination by race or religion is anti-American.  The numbers reflect certain groups are being discriminated against.  [/quote]

:lol:   Do you even understand discrimination?  All things being equal, an entity that is getting a government handout (in this case, not paying taxes) is expected to not discriminate on the basis of race or religion.  If you can prove that there were enough qualified White applicants who were 'wronged' by the university, there's a case for discrimination.  Not otherwise.[/quote]
