> About 19 percent of all public school students are Asian, but they received 57 percent of the offers for the specialized schools for the fall. The rates were higher at some schools, including 69 percent at Stuyvesant and 78 percent at Queens High School for the Sciences at York College.
If Asians are 3-4x overrepresented then they are the most over-represented group. It is telling that he does not provide comparable stats for any other group, though at least I give him credit for not aggregating Asian and white students everywhere in the article.
Does that imply that whites received less than 44% of the offers, and does that make whites underrepresented?
