Mary, <If Michigan is like the rest of the US, 65% caucasian is about right.>

Michigan doesn't strike me as having many blacks or Hispanics in their population. Especially Hispanics, most of whom are clustered in the southern states like California, Texas, and Florida.

Mary,
Racism will not end racism.

Found this.

Click on the .pdf for Overview of Race and Hispanic Origin: 2000

* Michigan

Michigan is 82% white.

University of Michigan is practicing racism or quotas or affirmative action. Doesn't matter what you call it, we all know what it is.

US higher education in general has had very aggressive and successful affirmative action programs. US Universities (including the service academies) are the envy of the world. This is one area that we are clearly the best - by a wide margin. Why screw it up?

You don't understand........Mr. Harris thinks of himself as a white M. L. King and he has a dream.

The two things are separate. They are the best with or without the affirmative action programs, and the AA programs don't even contribute to them being the best. Getting rid of AA will not be screwing it up but improving it.
