And that's not even including international students. Princeton is extremely proud of the 68% figure (note the size of the font used), and of the fact that their students were chosen "holistically", not necessarily by performance on tests.

This is "dismantling whiteness" in practice. Soon, K-12 schools will teach majority POC classes that the new locus of American national unity is the POC nation overcoming the remaining influence of Trumpian whiteness
The rapidity with which Princeton successfully engineered its POC majority points to how this can be done nationally -- you make whiteness a toxic identification that limits opportunity but then let whites flow easily through self-identification out of whiteness

68% is a big jump from 51% of the 2024 class I wonder if they are now counting Ashkenazi Jews as POC?

"Equality and justice for all" is obviously now an outdated concept.

Honestly, if I had a white child, especially male, I would start identifying them as bi-racial. At various times in our nation Italian, Greek, and Irish were classified as races. So, unless your child is 100% English or 100% French, your child could legitimately be considered bi-racial.

I can not believe we fought so hard for equality only to once again start handing out advantages and/or denying opportunities based on race. How have we let this happen?!?!?

Do those POC include Asian Americans? It would not be surprising that Asians would be overrepresented in the top schools.

Asians are overrepresented in all of the top schools...as a group they have the highest GPA's/test scores.

Asian Americans and permanent residents are 25% of the Princeton class of 2024.

Well they did self identify as "people of color"....I identify as a person of color because I'm not invisible or clear.

At universities now, you have to come in saying you hate being white if you are....it's a requirement. The "people of color" are taught to hate whites, we are demonizing white people like the Nazis did the Jews.

Harvard's class of 2025 will be 18% black.
Quote:
Harvard has taken in 60% non-white students (18% black, 27% was Asian American and 13.3% as Latin)
White students were still the biggest group by far with around 40%
Brown's intake is 55% students who described themselves as of color
Dartmouth is only Ivy League accepting a majority of white students over non-white students this year; the school's 2025 class is split 48 percent non-white and 52 percent white
