    Black/mixed-race students
    How many are there in your college? Just wondering as a general question, wanted personal answers. I visited for a while a little time ago and noticed there was NO diversity (not debating whether this is a fault/issue), apart from at an AC event hahah. I know it doesn't really matter, I'm just curious.

    I am at University now where they are less than fifty black/mixed/South Asian people. At college there were about 20 out of 1000, but this was in rural England and in 2001

    There's 2% black and mixed population in the UK

    Are people ****ing stupid or what? Damn
    As of 2009 black people were about 3% of the population and mixed race were 2% of the population meaning that every one in twenty should be black or mixed race. There's almost 19000 students at Cambridge and there is not 1000 black or mixed race students.

    At my university, there are about 15% Caucasians. You do the maths.
