Asian: 6.9%
African American: 4.8%

Look at all of the sanctioned SCHOOL clubs based solely on a particular race or religion. Yeah... argue that they aren't "partial to one's own group, religion, race, or political group, or that they don't exclude other that differ." Are you going to say the fixation with "how many people from each race" is my fault and I'm a bigot for evaluating LAW SCHOOL DEMOGRAPHICS! Yeah, you're for the double-standard that says ALL whites already have inside connections, so they can't have a "white club." FU YOU ARE THE RACIST

Now the US is 80% white? I thought you had quoted 75% from some unfound census....then you changed to 70% with a citation...now it's 80%...



and yes, the way in which you looked up and then immediatly b****ed about 'racism' in law school demographics does implicate you as being unnatural focused on race...

Assuming you can read English (I posted this already!):

According to the 2005 CIA World Fact (an official statistics agency), America is:

White
81.7% or 216 million, (Including Hispanics and those of Middle Eastern and North African descent)
69% (Excluding Hispanics but including Middle Easterners, North Africans, and others who checked "Some other race" in the Census)
Hispanics 14.1% or 41.3 million
Black or African American 12.9% or 36.4 million,
Asian 4.2% or 11.9 million,
American Indian 1.5% or 4.1 million,
Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander 0.2%
Two or more races 2.4%

The 2002 census says whites are approx 75%.

No, their web sites, school associations, and ABA college facts are race-focused. Have you even looked? All I wanted to know was the % of students taking/passing the bar exam, because besides #1 being school name, I want an education that prepares me to actually become a lawyer so I can work for the ACLU ... heheheh.

"American Rennisance" June 1996 edition?

Both biggoted garbage and obsolete to boot. I bet that's a great read.

So, from a cursory look at the numbers you've provided, that site's predictions have been proven wrong...in fact, according to their statistics, and your statistics, the percentage of whites in the american population has INCREASED....opposite of their predictions.

Hahahaha...80% including hispanics...who are also usually considered to be a minority in school stats. It's 69% including some would not be included in the law schools stats as white.

I DID read that. Did you? Because you're using the data incorrectly.

Are you kidding me? Who doesn't know Austin is in central Texas? Its the freaking state capitol. Seriously are you this dense?

So since you want to base it off percent population. Lets be a little serious and do it first over the City the school is in.

http://www.ci.austin.tx.us/census/faqs.htm

Black 9.8%
Asian 4.7%
Other 0.5%
Multi 1.6%
Clearly once again the White population in the Law school is OVER represented and the other minority groups are UNDER represented in Law school. Now granted thats just the city of Austin numbers. So lets go to the State level numbers of Texas.

http://txsdc.utsa.edu/data/census/20...eth/table3.txt

Originally Posted by Texas State Data Center
Proportion of Population
Anglo 52.43%
Black 11.34%
Hispanic 31.99%
Other 4.24%

Again the white population in law school is OVER represented while the others are UNDER represented by a large margin. So again Mr. Disgruntled white male why are you not fighting for the under represented racial groups in atleast Texas? Why are you only concerned with whites?

Sorry to inform you hella but the white population percentage is at 69.1%

That was in 2000 and I can pretty much assure you that it has gone down in the past 6 years.

I am personally looking forward to a time when whites are merely another minority. Then, hopefully, all these over-entitled, overpriveleged folks can get the **** over themselves.

Race isn't an issue.

Dwelling on race is.

The more y'all humor this joker, the more fuel you add to his skewed idealism.

Now that's good old-fashioned racism.

Basing it off of State population is the only excuse, but people go to ABA law schools so they can get licensed in The United States, not necessarily the state at which they go to school.

From your own numbers of 69%... heck I'd be willing to bet it's 65% if you factor in all the illegals, whites are still under-represented.

Oh, and the reason for me looking at this closer is because WHITE PEOPLE (lawmakers, politicians, lawyers... (you know.. the priveleged class that has zero poor and downtrodden)) made a cultural environment in which whites are the eventual loser.

We all know whites are already the minority in two of America's largest states (CA, TX) and that trend is going to continue. I JUST WANT TO BE SURE WHITES WILL BE PROTECTED AS A MINORITY just like what they've selflessly done for other races. Fair is fair, but as we know, humans can be evil.
