This is from Stanford's website.

Class of 2013 Profile

International - 38%
Minorities - 27%
Women - 24%
Total 99%

I am no mathmatician, but it seems that this leaves 1% for white males from the US. Seems a little strange....

Am I misreading this ?

I am laughing pretty hard right now.

You're born, you take shit. You get out in the world, you take more shit. You climb a little higher, you take less shit. Till one day you're up in the rarefied atmosphere and you've forgotten what shit even looks like. Welcome to the layer cake, son.

I think you have already been double pwned but yeah not mutually exclusive and that equals 89%...although I would guess that there are more than 24% females at Stanford so that could just be White-American women.

Hahaha

But yeah - there's gonna be tons of overlap between minorities and international, and then some of the women fall into those categories too. They obviously just print the statistics that way to make the campus look more diverse

There is already a book on you. That book is already being written. And if I talked to your friends, your teachers, your professionals, your family, I would know so much about you I wouldn't even have to meet you. You write the book the way you want to be

all joking aside, a better way to estimate (wont be exact) the number of white american males at stanford based on these numbers alone is to take the percentage of non-minorites (whites) which is 100 - 27 = 73%, and multiply it by the percentage of men, which is 100-24 = 76%. assuming that the number of white international students is negligible, this puts the percentage of white american males at stanford at about 55%.

this method assumes that the breakdown between men and women is the same for minorities and whites, and (as mentioned before) that there are a neglible amount of white international students.

Or just look at the % of people who aren't on financial aid and that's your answer.
