why do white females not go to college?

Blacks and Hispanics drop out of college at a much higher rate because of Affirmative Action. They become mismatched with specific institutions because colleges and universities are scrambling for a body count to satisfy government quotas. First tier schools like Harvard or Yale will dip into a lower level SAT score cohort to meet a quota and these students can not compete at the intense level required for a first tier school, second tier schools are then forced to recruit from an even lower SAT score cohort, all the way down the line.
A Black or Hispanic student that can make it at NYU will not be able to make it at MIT but the pressure to meet Affirmative Action quotas puts pressure on all institutions to recruit students irregardless of wether they can graduate there, a body count at the start of the year is what counts.

From my own investigating and personal experience- Black Females Are Not Dropping Out. I don't know if you are wondering about the rate of minority females dropping out of Your college or what, but my friends, and family stick it out. Black females dominate the colleges now, more so than Black males unfortunately and own their own businesses.
On the flip side, dropping out may occur if one has a child, a death in family that wracks havoc on their learning. Or in some cases Marriage. The white women at my college dropped out in droves because of marriage and kids- the black women drop out rate was infinitesimal in comparison.

Uhhhhh . . . I'm half black. I'm female. I have a graduate degree. I also happen to be a college instructor, and most of the dropouts I know of are white men. And that's mostly because they aren't quite mature enough to handle college yet. (Not all white men, just the white men who drop out.)

What is it that you are inferring? That whites don't drop out of college? Then men don't drop out?
You seem to have an agenda to discredit black women.... why is that? Do you feel inferior? no? Well you should.

Probably for many of the same reasons people of any sex or race drop out of college.

This is the stupidest generalization because you know full well that you haven't met every black women out there to make a stupid statement like this! Just because you may know a couple who have doesn't mean we all do! This is crazy!

why you gotta say that for?
it's not only black females who might drop out.
anybody of any race could drop out if they feel like it.
and if someone drops out it's probably for a good reason.

Some do some don't, and even then it can be for many different reasons.
