exactly where would you like to start?

Business? Education? Race bonus points for standardized testing? Minority only programs and scholarships everywhere....

Seriously, wtf kind of question is this.


Business? WTF does that have to do with how a black or white a city is? If somehow a business thinks they have too many blacks and not enough whites, then I guess you might be in luck.

Education? LSU is not majority black so that doesn't apply either. You might have a minor point about Southern since they don't have "white" scholarships per se. But pretty sure they don't have affirmative action in either admittance or scholarships that benefits blacks either.

Race bonus for standardized testing? Uhm. What?

Minority only programs and scholarships everywhere. Again, has frick all to do with the city of baton rouge. It has to do with how diverse those schools are. And minority scholarships are not taxpayer funded, they are private dollars. So what the frick do you care, it's not your money.

Look, I get your point that Asians (and to a lessor extant whites) get a raw deal from some colleges in admittance. But trying to relate it to demographics in Baton Rouge is incoherent.

I don't know about the actual testing, but I know if you're black and you're applying to law school, just being black gives you a "bump" and can get you into a school instead of a white kid who did better with you on standardized testing (LSAT) and GPA.
