Clo> zimbler, where do you get your stats?

"As are black student loan default rates"

Dear Clo,
Many years ago now, my paper did an article (authored
by 'acorn') which purportedly 'proved' that blacks
were being denied home loans at a rate much higher
than whites because of racism.

The article had a lot of statistical type numbers,
but the thing that struck me the most was that the
liars had thrown out the credit scores.

As luck would have it, my local paper also ran an
article with the local colleges student loan default
rates. Norfok State, a predominantly 'black' college
had an obscenely high default rate. Old Dominion
University, a local 'white' college had a very low
rate.

But, here is a link which should have a graph to
help you understand.

http://www.educationsector.org/sites/default/files/image/CYCTDefaultFig03.gif

(It shows whites with about a 7% student loan default rate,
and blacks about a 38% student loan default rate.)

(I lack the technology to move graphics into here.)

The top defaulters have few "Blacks" in their states.
Looks more like a "White" problem. clo

According to the 2010 U.S. Census, Arizona had a population of 6,392,017. In terms of race and ethnicity, the state was 73.0% White (57.8% Non-Hispanic White Alone), 4.1% Black or African American, 4.6% American Indian and Alaska Native, 2.8% Asian, 0.2% Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander, 11.9% from Some Other Race, and 3.4% from Two or More Races. Hispanics or Latinos of any race made up 29.6% of the state's population

According to the 2010 U.S. Census, Arkansas had a population of 2,915,918. In terms of race and ethnicity, the state was 77.0% White, 15.4% Black or African American, 0.8% American Indian and Alaska Native, 1.2% Asian, 0.2% Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander, 3.4% from Some Other Race, and 2.0% from Two or More Races. Hispanics or Latinos of any race made up 6.4% of the population

Iowa's population included about 97,000 foreign-born (3.3%).[60] Iowans are mostly of Western European descent. The five largest ancestry groups in Iowa are: German (35.7%), Irish (13.5%), English (9.5%), American (6.6%), and Norwegian (5.7%).

The racial make up of the state is 91.0% White (non-Hispanic), 3.8% Hispanic, 2.5% Black or African American, 1.6% Asian, and 0.4% American Indian. One percent of respondents report two or more races

Kentucky

The largest ancestries in the commonwealth are: English (30.6%), German (12.7%), Irish (10.5%), and African American (7.8%).[50][51] In the state's most urban counties of Jefferson, Oldham, Fayette, Boone, Kenton, and Campbell, German is the largest reported ancestry. Americans of Scots-Irish and English stock are present throughout the entire state, and many claim Irish ancestry because of the term "Scots-Irish", but most of the time in Kentucky this term is used for those with Scottish roots, rather than Irish.[52] Southeastern Kentucky was populated by a large group of Native Americans of mixed heritage, also known as Melungeons, in the early 19th century. Groups like the Ridgetop Shawnee were organizing the descendants of those early Native American settlers.

According to the 2010 U.S. Census, Colorado had a population of 5,029,196. In terms of race and ethnicity, the state was 81.3% White (70.0% Non-Hispanic White Alone), 4.0% Black or African American, 1.1% American Indian and Alaska Native, 2.8% Asian, 0.1% Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander, 7.2% from Some Other Race, and 3.4% from Two or More Races. Hispanics and Latinos of any race made up 20.7% of the population.
