Is 1/3 of 8%, considered diversity?
The thing is, that's becoming the case regardless of how selective the school is. I read somewhere years ago that the majority of college freshmen identifying as "Black" are West Indian or African and not African-American. My sister, who attended UF, said that there were far more Caribbean and African students there than kids like us, who could trace their ancestry in the US at least 5-6 generations. So, while Harvard is an easy target for so many reasons, you've got the gun pointed in the wrong direction, bucko.

But, I don't see what that has to do with Princeton's socioeconomic diversity, which is something that the other 7 Ivies and their competitiors are working hard to improve.
