The School Committee has now decided to count 671 Chinese students as white. So by the committee's figures, there are 36 imbalanced schools in the city, although state officials, using the now presumably outdated definitions of the U.S. Census Bureau, persist in counting...

This method then transferred itself to color, which was quite unnecessary because color separates itself from the background...
This represents a tremendous saving of effort over the older method of setting up problems in specialized computer codes. To represent the same chart that could be drawn in a few lines with "Sketchpad" might take hundreds of coded instructions, and the computer's answers might also need laborious interpretation...
