Has anyone even tried to analyze:
- how AA students from the same districts as non-AA students target majors
- how AA students in the same class levels as non-AA students target majors
- how, if race is left out of the equation, the SAT/ACT and GPA in math, science, and English classes compare to what major is chosen
It is so tiresome that everyone jumps on race as the factor in everything. My best friend is white and grew up in poverty in a single family home. Major was STEM and is making a LOT of money compared to anyone else in their family. Relatives include only one other person who had gone to college, who has been unemployed and underemployed for years. I just don’t get how it is okay to always count race, and never consider socioeconomics as a hugely contributing factor.
