If you want to circulate it, be our guest. Bo Sears for Resisting Defamation ************************************************************************** **** * Maldistribution Of The "White" Quota (from www.ResistDef.org) This is a phenomenon just becoming recognized at this time in writings by Ronald Unz, Patrick Buchanan, Edward Koch and Jonathan Tilove. It means that members of the marginalized and subordinated "white" ethnic groups (Celtic, Germanic, Italic, Slavic and Greek) are vastly and unfairly under-represented in public college admissions, employment and promotions. It is a topic that will have great import as observers realize how much maldistribution there is within the "white" quota. This is not a feature of affirmative action per se. It is a feature of the bias and bigotry against the members of certain "white" groups, and it can be seen in the allocating of seats and positions available within the "white" quota to members of the marginalized and subordinated "white" ethnic groups in American today. For example, European Americans, who make up approximately 65% of the eligible and qualified pool of potential applicants to UC each year, are first of all crowded down at Berkeley into a "white" quota of about 30%. This has been true under the current Berkeley campus administrators, and the last two, and is fairly well publicized --- even bragged about by UC officials. What is not understood is that children from two rather small elite "white" ethnic groups receive fully one-half of the "white" quota. The two groups taken together only provide about 5% of the total eligible and qualified pool of potential applicants to UC at Berkeley, so they are very happy with 15% of the admissions. Why wouldn't they be? They are over-represented in first year classes by a factor of three. This leaves the remaining eligible and qualified European Americans (60% of the total pool) to struggle over a mere 15% of the admissions. The subordinated "white" ethnic groups' members should be very unhappy about this bigotry. They are under-represented in first year classes by a factor of four. [While the foregoing analysis is a micro analysis (how the "white" quota of 30% is allocated at Berkeley), it is also worth remarking that a macro analysis (how the overall admissions are allocated) shows that non-European Americans make up about 35% of the eligible and qualified pool of potential applicants to UC at Berkeley, and that 35% of the pool is allocated 70% of admissions, an over-representation for non-European Americans in first year classes by a factor of two.] This phenomenon is unreported by any media to date (except for the four writers listed above) and this silence has to reflect the distaste felt by the dominant media culture for members of the subordinated "white" ethnic groups. This phenomenon also provides an argument in favor of understanding the diversity of the European American community. ************************************************************************** **** *******
