No, whites are the majority at Harvard. Look it up. [/quote]
^PP is looking at it compared to the US population - white people are 70% of the population, ergo, they should be 70% of admits if admits should reflect the US population.

Harvard is 40% white.  [/quote]

US whites (non hispanics) is 60%. So can we have 40% billionaires, CEOs, political leaders, etc. in the US reserved for minorities then? Harvard is a world class institution. [b]Why not use worldwide racial composition? About 16% of the world's population are whites.[/b][/quote]
