Eh, numbers seem to match up with national numbers, and there's not a huge difference between ethnicities https://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d12/tables/dt12_270.asp

The scary one to me is "field of study: education" : 41.1.

41% of future teachers need remedial education? Wonder how that stacks up to other countries.

Education, psych, business, english, journalism, etc are buckets that catch a lot of people who don't know what they want to major in but go to college because "that's what you do"
