A good chunk of this is just using different definitions. The Stanford numbers count white hispanics as Hispanic and the government source as white. The Stanford numbers are only out of 85% not 100% like the government source, because it adds categories for unknown and international.
It does seem like Asian and multiracial students are represented more at Stanford than in the general population. But given that Stanford draws primarily from the Bay Area, is that surprising?
- yucky 4y agoThat's not what's happening. 22% of Stanford's incoming class is white. That isn't representative of the US or Bay Area. It's not even close. Nobody would claim that in good faith.. Now, as long as they're missing out based on merit that's fine. But discriminating against them due to the color of their skin is just good old fashioned racism. So now Stanford is a racist institution. How do we fix that?
