34% of white college applicants lied about their race


Mar 6, 2022, 9:08 PM

48% of white males and 16% of white females lied. Wow! That's a crazy high number.

Of the 34% that lied:
- 48% claimed to be Native American
- 13% Latino
- 10% Black
- 9% Asian Pacific

The publication surveyed 1,250 white Americans who had previously applied to college. No idea how those 1,250 were selected or if that skewed the results. I'm surprised it was this high.

Now do mortgage applications.

85% lie about income

I just made up that number for mortgage applications, but wouldn't be surprised.

Google didn't return any quick results for lying about race on mortgage applications. It kept returning mortgage denials by race (which is a topic I'm not going to dig into)

After reading your OP again. I have concluded that those that stated “native” probably think they are because of that sticker they have on their back car window.

And the rest just answered by what race they identify as.

Were they HARVARD applicants?

Dunno. I assume survey results would look differently at a place like Harvard versus Clemson.

Many whites were born as poor black children. Well, at least one.

Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect: like a man, who hath thought of a good repartee when the discourse is changed, or the company parted; or like a physician, who hath found out an infallible medicine, after the patient is dead.

Re: 34% of white college applicants lied - - Oh the irony


Mar 7, 2022, 10:26 AM

How ironic are the outcomes of social engineering.

(1..) Modern-day social 'scientists' ... gnashing their teeth at not being part of the original and virtuous 'equal opportunity for blacks' with respect to historically white colleges and universities ... attempt to virtue signal by giving special admission considerations for blacks (based on race instead of MLK's urgings that everything for everyone be based on merit).

(2..) These same modern-day 'social scientists' ... completely off their meds and following the (political) science ... push for all people to be accepted by whichever or whatever demographic that suits them.

RESULT: The white kids 'identify' with being some 'race' other than white so to cash in on the less stringent admission standards which are offered to the non-white (and to the non-Asian) minorities.

AXIOM: For each stupid social engineering action, there is an even more stupid socially engineered outcome.

not put that she's Asian on her college apps because it would hurt her. She's smart for a white girl, average for an Asian.

We need smart kids to go to college and major in fields which the USA economy needs.

It's outrageous that the corrupt colleges and universities have sold their sole for (politically correct) 'minority rights' that randomly decide to consciously discriminate against certain 'non-politically relevant' minorities in their admissions criteria.

Too many of our political leaders and too much of the media perpetuates this nonsense. Shameful.
