Princeton alumni must love this. Paul Mirengoff, at Power-Line,
Princeton has offered admission to its class of 2025 to 1,498 applicants. According to numbers provided by the University, around fourteen percent of them are white American males.
14 percent of the admitted applicants identify as international students. 68 percent of the admitted applicants from the U.S. identify as “persons of color.” 52 percent are female. 48 percent are male.
Putting these numbers together, we see that only around 28 percent of admittees are white Americans. Less than half of that relatively small group are male.
Whites make up much more than one-third of American students. Thus, whites are severely underrepresented in the group of American students Princeton has admitted to the class of 2025. Princeton’s class of domestic students won’t “look like America,” as the saying goes.
Yale’s numbers won’t be terribly different, I’m sure.
After all, those 18th century clergymen who founded these great schools obviously looked forwarded to the happy day when their schools would be educating girls, Chinamen, and the offspring of all sorts of recently arrived foreign immigrants who came here to take over and replace their own descendants.
There was an unjust old model in which immigrants came to America and took the worst jobs at the lowest pay and built their own schools and churches. They and their children worked in the dark Satanic mills or the coal mines, and after long years in which their sons and grandsons had served in the military and fought in America’s wars, their third generation descendants sometimes went on to college and joined the Upper Middle Class.
In today’s so-much-more-enlightened America, immigrants from exotic non-European backgrounds simply step ashore off the banana boat, and their children matriculate at Harvard, Yale, or Princeton, and then go on to write editorials on public policy for the New York Times, teach Constitutional Law, or (even with lesser academic credentials) sleep their way to the Vice Presidency.

My corporation is doing the same. It does engineering work and went on a hiring binge lately. Only about 20% of the new hires are white males, while engineering graduates are about half white male. It looks like most of the major corporations are passing over white male candidates for female and minority hires. If you are a white male and, by some miracle, get hired, your prospects for promotion are diminished. They are pushing women and minorities through the promotion pipeline. One Indian-American woman got three promotions in three years, even after she drove all the men off her team. The hiring manager for another woman now reports to her.
I suspect the best choice for white males is to start their own companies where race and gender is not the deciding factor in hiring and promotion.
