Black students are far more likely to have their university applications flagged for potential fraud or errors than any ethnic group, it has emerged.

More than half the applications flagged by the university application service Ucas between 2013 and 2017 were from students from black backgrounds.

But because only a tenth of all applications come from black youngsters, this means that they are selected disproportionately for fraud probes.

On average, one in 100 black applicants is flagged by Ucas's verification service, compared with one in 2,000 white ones.

Ucas, which published the statistics, said the reason was unclear because its flagging process was blind to ethnicity.

Well, then we must admit more Affirmative Action Jacksons and hire a VP-Diversity

To fix this disparity

And reparations in the form of free college

You can fix this by taking race off the application....which isn’t going to happen.

"Ucas, which published the statistics, said the reason was unclear because its flagging process was blind to ethnicity."

In which case the reason is very clear - they commit more fraud and errors on their applications.

Probably for the same reason blacks are 13% of the population but commit 52% of the murders, only most of those murders are committed by young black males who are only 3% of the population.

“its flagging process was blind to ethnicity.”

So it’s racist to assume that racism is involved. It will be even more racist if they discover that the flagging process was accurate, but they change it anyway.

Its not that blacks are more fraudulent. Its that people are pretending to be black so they can get in to colleges that they would not otherwise be allowed into.

Maybe they commit fraud more often?

Just a thought.

When you try to hold them to the same standards as Whitey, it turns out that they are not following the same rules as Whitey. Then the left blames Whitey for being racist for noticing.

So a race neutral algorithm to detect fraud catches more blacks committing fraud.

Gee, the only explanation is racism.

Well when 6% of the population is responsible for 45% of all crime, what do you expect?

I am getting tired of the criminals complaining they are victims

“But because only a tenth of all applications come from black youngsters, this means that they are selected disproportionately for fraud probes.”

This is what passes for logic on the Left.

It’s why it’s not possible to coexist peacefully with them any longer.
