The NYT to Princeton: 129 white males accepted out of 1,900 admitted ? Hold our beer.

Of the Times’ 37 interns (out of 3,000 applicants) one is a white male, 4 are colored males, 27 are women of various shades. Their mugshots are here. (Matching names with faces, I’d guess there are four white females). According to this article, the WSJ is no better.

I get it, and if I were black, I’d say “you had your place on top of the pile for centuries, honkie, now it’s our turn”. But if I had children still young enough to counsel, I’d tell them to forget about any kind of career in academia or Fortune 500 corporations, and develop entrepreneurial skills, because otherwise they’ll be denied employment at worst or held back at best.

The hope for a color-blind, equal-opportunity society is gone.
