Tpie chart shows that 47.3 percent of incoming students are White; 20.0 percent Asian-American; 8.1 percent Black; 7.6 percent Hispanic; 5.4 percent multi-race; 5.4 percent nonresident alient; and 5.9 percent unknown or other, which includes 0.1 percent American Indian or Alaskan Native and 0.1 percent Native ...Oct 21, 2022

So in a state that is 20% African American, UVA is 8% black but the problem here is white enrollment. Ok.

I can barely visit DCUM anymore. The racism in almost every single thread is getting insane.

Same.

New poster: it’s not racism to state facts. There are Sup Ct cases on this topic: https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2022/10/10/supreme-court-race-unc-admission/

There are stats on this topic: https://thehill.com/changing-america/enrichment/education/577722-more-than-a-third-of-white-students-lie-about-their/amp/

URMs (among others) do get a thumb on the scale when evaluating their applications. Yes, they have to be qualified but an URM, 1st Gen, applicant from a rural area, etc DO get a leg up if they have the stats. Meanwhile, Asians rank lower in personality traits because they are Asian (a point in the Harvard case admitted by Harvard during oral arguments).

These are facts. It is easier for some to get in to schools, TJ, college certain programs, etc., if you have a hook, and a hook can absolutely be your race. Race can also be an anchor for some.

A lot of Asian families have classist attitudes & don’t have their kids in real-world activities like part-time jobs.

DP.. ok, and? That's not relevant to this issue.

FWIW, I worked my way through college, and my HSer has had a job since 16.

This comment hurts my head so much!! It screams white male privilege. Colleges don’t have to SAY the majority is white. People can see for themselves. The years of discrimination in this elite institution where even women weren’t permitted initially, is being challenged and opportunities opening up for ALL, not just those who thru legacy or nepotism get a free pass.

Let’s hear it from the horses mouth https://diversitydata.virginia.edu/Home/Details/Undergraduate%20Students. You are spreading misinformation.They report 56% white.

I think this years Demos at schools will be interesting. I hear a lot of chatter that it was a huge tear for URMs because they fear the overturning of affirmative action- so they grabbed them up. Harvard let in many more Asians and I do think that was after Asians forced they’d have with the lawsuit of being discriminated against/merit not used.
