My guess is that they mostly put Hispanic.

I thought Hispanic % was said to be pretty high at some of the colleges.

Yeah, a friend of my son has an Hispanic mother ... whose family has been in the United States since the late 1800s. The father is a WASP who attended Columbia and HBS. Meanwhile the boy is checking the Hispanic box and applying to Harvard and Yale while my slightly-better-stats kid is focused on, like, Villanova.

It's so frustrating to see people abuse the system. I wish there was a way for colleges to distinguish (and who knows; maybe they do.)[/quote]

Simple

Latinos should not get any affirmative action

It should be for ados blacks only.

Latinos scam this so hard.

I ask for test scores and transcripts when I hire and I definitely am more willing to bend for black kids (it’s pretty easy also to tell ados from 1st and 2nd gen African/Dominicans when you see their names, ask where they went to high school, make small talk about hobbies, music, sports during the interview process etc)

You sound like a nativist bigot.

Latinos have actually struggled for centuries here, you know the US stole their lands in many states? And their language has been forbidden for decades in states like CA?

If blacks and Native Americans get AA, Latinos deserve it too.[/quote]

Nah you gotta be enslaved for centuries to get AA but if you want to put on the chains so you can deserve it too, go right ahead.[/quote]

Tell us again how Obama or [b]Harris' [/b]ancestors were enslaved by centuries? It's more like their families were doing the enslaving.[/quote]

Uhhhh half Harris' family is Jamaican.  They were also enslaved.  [/quote]
