Texas - Stupid Again

30 May, 2009

Texas hates diversity...

Suburban parents with students at schools with rigorous standards also complained that the law discriminated against their children, since it was harder to make the cut at such schools than at smaller, rural and some urban schools.

Since 1999, the number of white students in the undergraduate class at the Austin campus has dropped by 3,500, while the number of minorities has risen by 3,800, according to statistics provided by the university. The undergraduate population has remained about 37,000.

Because really, if you ask the locals they'll probably tell you: those Black students who go to A&M (all 12 of them) have no reason to be there... well, except if they are on the football team, they're cool.
