Princeton is selecting fewer white students every year and now takes more non-white applicants than any other Ivy League school, new data from the university has revealed.
Princeton announced on Thursday that it had sent letters out to its class of 2025. The successful applicants will learn by 7pm EST if they've got a place or not.
More than 37,600 applied and 1,498 were selected. Of them, 68 percent - 1,018 - 'self-identify' as people of color.
The school did not separate among that group how many are black, Hispanic, Asian or any other race, leaving 32 percent - 479 students - to 'self-identity' as white.

Which means a very large proportion of their incoming class were too dumb to "self identify" as non-white to improve their chances.

I gotta think perhaps that statistic is a death knell for the tigers! As the old song goes "Ain't That a Shame"!

Good thing there isn't any of THAT going on at Princeton.

They will have worthless professionals like disbarred Michelle. The Asians and whites will succeed. It is the smarts that matter.

Soon, Princeton and others, like Yale and Harvard, will eventually go to pot and ruin, like the temple in “The Jungle Book;” overrun by the apes and monkeys who have no idea of the significance of the place.

Including taking away points from Asians and adding bonus points to African-Americans in college entrance exams (and approved by the U.S. Supreme Court)!.

Degrees are already close to worthless so imagine what Princeton will be producing by 2025.

Hispanics are "people of color"? I would say not all of them, as I know some that are as white as me.

The Asians and Hispanics deserve what they get - - they're very hard workers.
As for the other "minorities" - - hard work is not the first thing which comes to mind.

I get it; it's a circle. They're going so far left they'll end up back at their original purpose of training ministers to share the Gospel.

Everybody should self-identify as non-white. Hard workers come in all colors; it's racist and/or ignorant to think otherwise. It's a shame that the majority population is allowing themselves to be marginalize by the minority, meaning leftists who are pushing this agenda. Not much is being done about it, because people are too polite.

Statistically provable racial discrimination. And they brag about it.

Princeton gone ghetto. This is my shocked face.
How many extremely qualified candidates were turned down to make that happen?

Next they'll have to drop their standards to keep certain minorities from flunking out. As previous posters have noted, a Princeton degree will become worthless.

Interestingly enough white people are "people of color" too. In fact, they are the "most colored people" of all. White is the highest RGB number of all (FFFFFF), comprising the maximum combination of all colors. So where do I get my reparations? #RGB-LM rules.

The "elite" colleges seem to be in a "race to the bottom" for scholastic purposes. I guess it makes them feel good to be "woke and stupid."

Lowering their standards massively, and the result will be that folks will discover that "a Princeton graduate" who isn't white will be a real loser.

The 0bama woman is a "graduate" of Princeton. That tells you right there the value of a Princeton degree.

I have a colleague, an esteemed pioneer in the area of computed tomography (CT technology), who graduated Princeton in 1959 with a PhD in physics. I'd be curious to know the demographics of the Physics department at Princeton today. Perhaps the progressive faculty and administration of Princeton is offering a substitute, Physics of Color - as a form of reparations to go along with their politics of low expectations.
