Hill Airy Us

If Jason Bayer is right, someone needs to get canned.

"For example, the article states "although Pilipinos are the largest Asian-American group in California, they only make up 3.7 percent of the campus's undergraduates." First of all, this is not correct. According to the 2000 census, 2.9 percent of the California population identify their race as Chinese, compared to 2.7 percent for Filipino (as the census spells it). So, Pilipinos are not the largest Asian-American group in California, according to the latest census.

"Plus, the article seems to imply that "although" the California Pilipino population is very large, they "only" comprise 3.7 percent of undergraduates. But when you look at it, Pilipinos are more represented in the Berkeley student population than in the state!"
