What’s totally crazy is doing the math on this.
About 50% of college applications are from white students.
White students report they lied 34% of the time.
Of those students, 48% pretended to be Native American.
That means that 5.8% of applications are falsely claiming to be Native American.
0.5 * 0.34 * 0.48 = .0816, not .058
It’s unclear whether the 48% is 48% of all applicants or 48% of White liars. I’m still not sure where the 5.8% number came from.
