This is one example of the coming difficulties with racial statistics in schools, college admissions and hiring. Soon cites will be and some are already majority minority cities. Whites will be a minority. But under current propaganda driven public policies white people will continue to be demonized as oppressors. Though Ferguson MO is 70 percent black, voters complain about not enough black police and black public officials. Is that due to white privilege? Only white people can vote in Ferguson MO? Then does that mean that black public officials are less corrupt than white ones? What difference does it make? The defining issues for public officials should be common sense and integrity not skin color. But journalists and the Obama-Holder-Johnson-Sharpton-Matthews-Smiley-New Black-Panther-Party administration makes dividing America by race the highest priority. Take good note that America hating organizations, CAIR, Hamas, e.g., which defends terrorists attacking Americans, advocates for more racial divisions.

About half the students living in the 22 communities subject to the agreement, according to state officials, are non-white. That's up from about 38 percent in 2008, when the parties negotiated a revised timetable for progress on reducing racial, ethnic and economic isolation. Another revision was made last year.
"The state is in the position of, how do you meet the requirements of the State Supreme Court given the fact that the demographics of the region have changed so completely," said Kathleen Demsey, state Department of Education's chief financial officer who worked for years on the issue. "Financially, it's a burden for this transportation system, money that could be used for education is being used to bus kids."

The issue of changing demographics has come up before. In 2013, the parties redefined the standard for diversity, allowing Asian, American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islanders to count toward the 25 percent "white enrollment" threshold. Further changes could be among the proposals in this round of negotiations.
