You don’t get to distinguish between conservative whites and liberal whites. All whites — whether of English, Polish, Jewish, etc. ancestry — are the problem, and over represented in higher education.

This also applies to white-adjacent groups, such as (east) Asians and Hispanics/Latinx.

I knew Auburn didn't like to admit black non-athletes, but I'm really surprised by Aggie.

If we'd a known how much trouble they'd be, we'd have picked our own damned cotton.

That’s the theory from political pundits, but the numbers aren’t bearing that out. Turns out, the Hispanic bloc’s seen socialist agenda up close and wants nothing to do with it.

There is an HBCU about 30 minutes southwest of Texas A&M called Prairie View A&M. Absent some sort of outside government coercion, people usually like to hang out with others who are like themselves. A black kid in Texas can pick between two campuses offering similar majors with strong ROTC programs, but one is almost entirely populated by black students and one is almost entirely whites, Asians & Hispanics. Which campus do you think most will choose (assuming they could meet the academic requirements of both)?

When did Alabama desegregate its football team? = On September 12th, 1970, The University of Alabama's Crimson Tide was still racially segregated; This soon changed after losing to USC's all-Black backfield

That's not true, Wilbur Jackson was already on the team but true freshmen weren't eligible to play at the time.

I mean, that applies to a majority of charter members.

Whether it’s a good thing or not, I don’t know… but Auburn has positioned itself to be a magnate for the wealthy.

According to data from the New York Times, the median income of parents who send their kids to various schools looks like this for the SEC:

$204,500- Vanderbilt
$143,000- Auburn
$130,900- Texas A&M
$130,200- Alabama
$129,800- Georgia
$123,900- Texas
$116,600- Ole Miss
$116,300- Arkansas
$113,900- Oklahoma
$111,900- Kentucky
$110,100- Missouri
$108,800- LSU
$106,700- Florida
$96,900- Tennessee
$95,500- S Carolina
$90,300- Mississippi State

Of the 65 football Power programs, Auburn ranks 12th, but the only schools above AU are mostly coastal private schools. Here are the Top 15 with public schools shown in BOLD

$221,500- Wake Forest
$204,500- Vanderbilt
$194,100- Boston College
$191,400- Notre Dame
$187,300- TCU
$167,500- Stanford
$161,400- USC
$155,500- Virginia
$154,000- Michigan
$146,600- Miami
$143,000- Auburn
$142,800- Virginia Tech
$135,100- North Carolina
$133,700- Colorado
$130,900- Texas A&M

But what is crazy is Auburn is in a state with one of the lowest median incomes in America, and Auburn draws over 60% of its enrollment from inside the state… and about 90% from Alabama and bordering states.

I think you can somewhat track Auburn’s increase in attracting wealthier kids with Alabama’s rise in out of state kids that started about 20 years ago. When Bama started prioritizing kids from Illinois and California, Auburn started getting the vast majority of wealthy kids from the wealthier high schools in Alabama.

You can't force people of a certain race to apply for admission to a school. The only thing you can do is have different admission standards based off of skin color.

So please tell me which races should have lower SAT/ACT scores and HS GPA for admission.
