Ben, he's half-Portuguese.
I'm not saying there's any intent to discriminate on Caltech's side, but I think that Caltech's policy turns a blind eye to discrimination that's already occurred in society. And Caltech is okay with that for its purposes, and MIT is not, and there are many wonderful ways to make a world.
Big Brother, I disagree that "statistics don't lie" -- lord knows they do obfuscate the truth, particularly in internet arguments. I think it's true that a good college should have good grad school and job placement, but those numbers are unavailable at MIT. MIT's statistics can tell you how many people went to grad school or took a job, but they can't tell you what they wanted to do in the first place, because they don't collect that information in the graduating student survey.
