... has a chapter on "the magic number": 33%

Generally, only one group can be at or above 33%. Homeostasis is only achieved when members of one group capitulate and leave.

When a neighborhood is at or exceeds 33% Black, then it is a Black neighborhood and Whites flee.

Harvard's president Lowell was terrified that Harvard was going to go the way of Columbia and become "Jewish." Hence the nasty profiling efforts Harvard engaged in to suppress the number of Jews admitted to Harvard.

One of the key ways that "elite" institutions control their ratios is....sports!

Need more spots earmarked for Whites? Make women's varsity rugby a thing! Boom... that's 30 spots right there reserved for White kids.

Jever notice how many football "walk ons" are White? Football walk ons get preferential admission treatment.
