<p>Dielhdun is the type of person who blindly supports a school due to their allegiance with the school.</p>
<p>I bring the hard truth, which may be hard to swallow. </p>
<p>Yes, its true USC has a large percentage of minorities than Cornell, but you have to consider the type of applicants these schools get. USC is in the LA area, so obviously, a lot more minorities are going to apply to it than Cornell. USC is known in the poor schools around the area like inglewood high, morningside, hawthorne high, etc, because USC goes and recruits these students. Cornell is known for being ivy, which tends to scare off minority applicants because they fear “rich white kids” and the fact that they probably cant afford it or get in. Cornell also never goes to the ghetto to recruit applicants. When i knew that cornell was in the LA area, i had to drive all the way to Palos Verdes (rich white area) to go see them. Once the minorities arrive at USC, they realize that they are oppressed by these “rich white kids.” I am still holding on to this idea since i have spoken to black kids that go to USC.</p>
<p>I think the only ignorance here is the fact that you fail to consider the demographics these schools target and what happens to them once they enter the school–they segregate.</p>
