Your own words were:

And this is at a campus that was 15% Hispanic, right? And I am the one with biases?

Demographically speaking, no, that’s not diverse. There are more latinos in California than whites, California is comprised of around 40 percent latinos and slightly fewer than 40% non hispanic whites. When we toured we saw no latinos, no african americans, very few whites, mostly asians.

Yes, I believe you have some kind of bias or chip on your shoulder because you have continued to bait me when if fact I have said absolutely nothing offensive. If you read back in this thread people have discussed different campuses, this school didn’t look diverse at all, everyone we saw was white, etc… Well, UCI didn’t look diverse at all, everyone we saw was Asian. This is offensive to you why?

The 25% of undergraduates who are Hispanic must have been hiding from you. So must the 15% of undergraduate who are white (non-Hispanic). Somehow, you saw only the 40% who are Asian.

I guess they were. And, it’s well over 50% Asian as most of the international students are also Asian. Again, a stark lack of diversity when a demographic that’s less that 5% of general population is well over 50% of the population at a given college. Funny, other posters in this thread talked about touring Tufts and other colleges and commenting that they didn’t feel very diverse, no one insinuated they were racist.

As to the question of proportionality of student populations in comparison to the general population, I suppose California has Proposition 209 to either thank or blame – depending on one’s viewpoint – for the apparent differences in racial demographics from campus to campus at the state schools. But given the size and diversity of the 30+ statewide campuses of the very large University of California and California State University systems, if racial demographics is a principal factor in selecting a university to attend, both systems appear to have campuses that can meet a student’s needs for an affordable undergraduate experience. See, for example, Cal State Los Angeles, UC Merced, Cal State San Marcos,UC Riverside, Cal State Long Beach, Cal Poly Pomona, and UC Santa Cruz – all of which have large proportions of Hispanic/Latino students.

I find it interesting that the top prestigious schools have the lowest white undergrad population.
