A school located in a state that is 87% white, 3% Hispanic, 1% Multiracial, 7% African American,  >1% Asian, >1% Pacific Islander and >1% Native American.
Park Hills, the city Covington Catholic Highschool is located in has @ the same demographic makeup.


By your logic, the State of Kentucky is now considered racist cause it has more white people.  But you're correct, the "math", when taken in context as the racial makeup of the state and city as a whole, does speak for itself. As we can see they closely match the demographic of the school. Hard to fill every school in the US with "equal" amounts of blacks/whites when they only make up 15% of the US population, but that don't make something 'racist'.

Also, I don't think most blacks send their kids to a private Catholic School to begin with, so there is that 'cultural' metric to consider.  Can we now label blacks 'religious intolerant', since we're making huge leaps in logic in our anti-white propaganda?

It would only be "racial equality" doing so, right?

First of all, let's understand one thing. I never said Covington Catholic was or is racist.

Now, based on your facts let's look at the reality. If CCHS was compatable to Kentucky as a whole in racial equality wouldn't the overall figures also be comparable? There's a huge difference between 95.4% and 87% and there's an even larger difference between 7% and 0.2%. If the equality ratio were more in line with the overall Kentucky ratio, rather than 1 African American student, there would be 42.

However, let's look at a couple of other notable private male Catholic schools in Kentucky for a comparison. St. Xavier has an overall student population of 1346. The breakdown is as follows:

White - 90.6%
Hispanic - 2.4%
Multiracial - 2.3%
African American - 1.7%
Asian - 1.5%
Native American - 1.1%
Pacific Islander - 0.4%
^^^ That's probably more in line with the population figures for Kentucky.

For comparison sake, let's look at another all male private Catholic school in Kentucky. The breakdown for Trinity High School is as follows:

Student Diversity
White - 86.5%
African American - 6.5%
Hispanic - 2.6%
Multiracial - 2.1%
Asian - 2%
Native American - 0.3%
Pacific Islander - 0.1%
Unknown - 0%
^^^ That's right in line with Kentucky statistics.

Just for comparison sake, I'll also note the tuition figures for all 3 schools are drastically different. While both St.X and Trinity have a tuition of $13,000+, CCHS only has a tuition of $8,060.

Now, let's be realistic. Blackout games and whiteout games have been around a long time. People dress in the corresponding colors, they wear wigs, and in some situations, they also use paint. It's not in any way intended to be racial oriented. It's merely a motivational tool to boost team spirit and designed to be fun, not critical of any particular race. However, painting one's face black has always been considered a racial or derogatory act towards people of color. You can flip that coin however you want but the fact remains, if any action can be interpretated as offensive it should not be done. That's true for CCHS and every school in the United States. If schools are going to have blackout games, they need to restrict the code so that face painting in that manner is excluded.

Personally, I don't know if CCHS is racist or not and to be perfectly honest, I really don't care.

Further, I don't care how you or anyone else looks at it, I feel those kids were acting disrespectful at that protest. That's my opinion. You'll not change it and I doubt anything I say will change your opinion. I happen to believe a difference of opinion gives us the opportunity to be individuals. Have a nice read.
