Ivy League US Ratio
Jewish* 17.2% 2.1% 8.21
Asian 19.6% 7.1% 2.75
White 33.1% 51.6% 0.64
Hispanic 11.4% 19.4% 0.59
Black** 7.8% 16.5% 0.47
The relative placement of the bottom 3 groups changes, but their individual representation ratios remain approximately the same. Any conclusions about discrimination that you could draw from the first set of numbers, you can draw from this one - the differences are negligible.As for there being many people in Asia, that is irrelevant - I excluded international students when calculating Ivy League demographics, so only the US population is relevant.
*I assumed the same age structure for non-Jewish and Jewish whites.
**The census data table gives the total Black population as 47 million for 2017, while https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_United_Sta... gives only 40 million, despite citing census.gov as its source. I don't know where the disparity comes from, and that's the only place I've seen such a high estimate of the US Black population.
