That could be the case. I noticed that most of the top students in recent years are not white unless they are Jewish. The 2020 class continues the tradition.
i can see that. Smart kids may have figured out that you can work hard or coast and still wind up in a dead end job buying shit they don’t need.
Yep, lets try to make this fit a political agenda instead of just congratulating kids of success.
Are you that self conscious about other people doing better than you at school or is it that you peaked in HS and wonder how other people enjoy their lives?
People make their choices. Some people want to devote their time to academics rather than extracurricular or just fucking around. And this might seem confusing but some people actually enjoy academics.
No idea if it impacts the kids on the list but an average in the high-90's means you get some post-secondary education paid for; partying doesn't.
Fuck socializing, going forward we need more smart people like this 100% young lady In Canada. Who cares what she does in her leisure time as she is a scholastic gem extraordinaire . Covid-19 has something to say about mindless socializing, for now at least anyway.
What a racist country the US must be. Constantly holding POC down by insisting they make more money than the majority group. The oppression oh the oppression. You have to wonder why anyone would want to immigrate there
Am I the only one who sees the interpretation of this data as problematic? Why are all these specific ethnic origins listed but instead of seeing German or Irish, we only see "white"? I have a feeling that someone with a specific world view selected data to fit their pre-determined agenda (I suspect that the ethnic groups were manipulatively taken from immigrant data and not the general race data).
A quick search and here's what the census data actually shows:
Asian - $87,194
White - $70,642
Hispanic - $51,450
Black - $41,361
Average of all races - $63,179
Of course rednecks will continue to quote bullshit like above.

"Programs at 3 of 17 medical schools in Canada aim for equity for Black students. Three Canadian medical schools have collaborated to initiate an admissions process specifically for Black students. The three med schools are: University of Toronto, University of Alberta and University of Calgary.6 hours ago"
According to my DNA I also have indigenous blood, I want special admission to medical school at U of T as well. Why limit special admissions only to blacks?
I think I would make a great gynecologist. I am already an expert on the female anatomy from years of intimate study.

By "indian" I assume E.I. No surprise. From memory I think E.I's are or were CEO's of TD Bank, Citigroup, Microsoft, Google, Pepsi, IBM and other corporations. In my company our entire IT department is staffed with E.I.'s.
"Brown Privilege"? E.I's tend to concentrate in high tech, finance and medicine.

That states there is a specific process. How does that process differ from the current one? That was my question before that you have not addressed.
This year the TDSB instituted a policy that students were given a final mark when schools shut down but they could still do online homework to increase their grades, but that it would never count to lower their marks.
I don't know how the process just for black applicants differ from the process for everybody else. If it is the same, why bother instituting a separate process? You will have to ask the U of T.
