I guess this is inherently unknowable, but I am itching to know if the dropout stats were meaningfully different for black people who choose not to self identify as black on the form. For that matter, what fraction of black people pick "prefer not to say" on these sorts of forms, and is that fraction higher or lower than any other racial demographic?

And you know who's been lining the pockets of Apple? The consumers. Vote with your wallet, get what you vote for.

The thing about "critique the assertion not the source" is that "the cost of producing bullshit is much lower than the cost of debunking it." At some point, if you you have a particular source of assertions, and their assertions repeatedly turn out to be bullshit, its fair to stop giving the benefit of the doubt that their next assertion might not be bullshit.
