[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just ran a quick search and found this: https://thetab.com/2023/09/18/the-whitest-universities-the-russell-groups-with-the-fewest-ethnic-minority-students Exeter and Durham are pretty white….I guess not a lot of change from the 90’s.[/quote] It would be changed if there is more socioeconomic diversity. But you can’t tell that from this table. There might be other information sources available. One thing I will say about the linked table is that all of the universities highest on the list are the ones with the biggest international cohorts. Eg LSE has 70% international students, Imperial has 52%. So it’s not surprising that they have more racial diversity. [/quote] I wonder how they tabulate that data. Take LSE with 70% ethnic minority. What does Ethinic Minority mean here? Just because you are international, doesn’t make you an ethnic minority? Or are they considering EU internationals ethinic minorities? 70% Ethinic Minority in the US would mean 70% Hispanic, Asians, Blacks and native americans regardless of whether you are international or not. Wonder how it is in the UK…[/quote] “Ethnic minority means black, Asian, mixed or other ethnic minority backgrounds” https://www.thetimes.com/article/606a12ba-8452-466e-b109-5305ae95fa1f?shareToken=b9c65757e24be2fb88043e9c3422c71a EU nationals or any other international students are only included if they are from these backgrounds. [/quote] I know there are a ton of foreigners at LSE, but 70% Ethnic minorities seem a little ridiculous. I dont think that is what the PP’s artifice said, I called Internationals an ethnic minority. Hard to believe 70% is ethnic minorities at LSE.[/quote] Well the current table from the Sunday Times says it is 63.6% ethnic minority. I don’t know why that is hard to believe though, and it isn’t only because of foreign students. Aston University, which is in Birmingham and would not be on the radar of most Americans, is 83.8% minority, because of the large number of Asian students who live locally and attend that university.[/quote]
