For access, simply Google the title. Orfield found, "Whites on average attend schools where less than 20% of the students are from all of the other racial and ethnic groups combined. On average, Blacks and Latinos attend schools with 53% to 55% students of their own group. Latinos attend schools with far higher average Black populations than Whites do, and Blacks attend schools with much higher average Latino enrollments. American Indian students attend schools in which about a third (31%) of the students are from Indian backgrounds."
