IF YOU VISIT the Admissions page at Harvard University's Web site,
you'll see the university's claim that some 65% of their undergraduate
population of 6,658 is "Caucasian." Then, zipping on over to the Jewish
campus organization Hillel's site, you'll find that 2,000 of those
"Caucasians" are Jews. A little quick work with the calculator shows
that, therefore, 46 per cent. of the "Caucasian" students are therefore
Jews, making this tiny minority of the American population by far the
most overrepresented group at Harvard -- and Whites by far the most
underrepresented.

Take out your calculator and divide the Jewish representation -- almost
17 times their percentage of the US population -- by the White
representation (0.53 or about half of our percentage of the
population):

A Jew is approximately 31 times as likely to be admitted to Harvard as
a White person.

A Jew is almost 4 times as likely to be admitted to Harvard as an
Asian.

A Jew is almost 25 times as likely to be admitted to Harvard as a
Black.

A Jew is more than 29 times as likely to be admitted to Harvard as a
Mestizo.

A Jew is almost 19 times as likely to be admitted to Harvard as an
Amerind.

I hate to feed the trolls, but just in case anyone believes this...

2000 is not 46 percent of 6658. I'll leave it to you to do the math.

I don't believe that the original data is correct, but the arithmetic is.

6658 x .65 = 4327 (white)

2000 / 4324 = .465 ~ 46% (jewish of whites)
