Yes, I see this all the time in the TJ threads. I have tried to point it out when it happens. Somebody thinks it’s very clever to refer to basketball/sneakers when we’re discussing fairness in the TJ application process.

Only racists see it that way.

Rest of us understand that different families have different priorities, some spend on basketball and others on academic enrichment, and few others like us on both.

Do only "racists" think this comment is racist?

"The AP test industry is unethical, keeps stolen past exam questions compiled as practice tests out of reach of many potential and capable students. Instead of listing these products under sports category right next to basketball shoes, they created a separate category called Books. Imagine the outrageous difficulty that puts for underrepresented minorities (except asian americans) to reach these products."

How many racist posts have made calling Asian American students preppers and test buyers?

There are many hundreds of racist posts that refer to brilliant hardworking asian american students as test buyers.

That doesn’t justify comments like this:
“ The AP test industry is unethical, keeps stolen past exam questions compiled as practice tests out of reach of many potential and capable students. Instead of listing these products under sports category right next to basketball shoes, they created a separate category called Books. Imagine the outrageous difficulty that puts for underrepresented minorities (except asian americans) to reach these products. ”

not sure what the post is trying to say about products, basketball, books? If it has negative connotations, it's absolutely not appropriate.

With the racist that posted these hundreds of test buying messages, the racism against asian americans is at an entirely different level.

Really? You can’t see how condescending and rude the comment quoted above is?

Yes, I can see how condescending and hateful the test buying racist messages are. It appears hater has been spewing them for years.

Racist comments suck, right? Including the one above saying that non-Asian URMs aren't likely to find test prep books because they are listed under "books" instead of "sports, next to basketball shoes"?

For the umpteenth time, I'm a non-Asian URM and dont find basketball reference racist at all. Basketball affiliation is sense of pride for us. It takes hardwork and a ton of prep to be good at basketball.

No kidding. It sure does. Prep makes one perfect, whether it's basketball or math.

Hope FCPS school board leaves basketball team selection alone and keeps it merit based, as it currently is and should be. We can see the mess the switch to TJ admissions essay selection is causing, subjecting innocent algebra 1 kids to remedial math stress.

Yes, I hope they keep it merit-based, like the new TJ admissions, but I don't care about basketball. As far as I can tell sports are extracurriculars that have little to do with education.

sports have little to do with education? Billions are awarded in sports scholarships to pursue college education, and it starts with whether students gets selected into high school teams. But unlike TJ race based selection, fortunately FCPS has kept basketball and other sports selections merit based, favoring the most prepped, with no secret racial balancing.

Billions get awarded? No way

Most of the test buying/prepping post refer to wealthy and educationally advantaged families.

But the selective outrage gives them little credit as the claims of "test-buying" Asians are absolutely overflowing these threads. PP doesn't seem to be going around each of those and commenting on those.

I've reported many of the obvious anti-Asian comments. And, from what I've seen, most of the "test buying" comments are directed at affluent families, not Asian families.

Sure. Maybe. Point is no one knows whereas with these comments, you have made a relatively performative attempt to highlight them, hence the selective outrage comment. And in most cases, people will ignore your outrage as disingenuous no matter how many "Ive reported many" statements you make... and now seemingly conflating and explaining away "most."

More deflection. The comment I've reposted is truly terrible and deserves to be called out.

Do you believe that it's offensive?

Funny how posters keep deflecting and pretending like they don't understand it.

Yep. And they can’t seem to find a single post that talks about ORMs in this same condescending and contemptuous way.

Don't appear so. Clearly directly towards Asian American families and students.

The ones I’m seeing seem to have the word “Asian” added by the poster who is complaining about *discussions* of test buying/prepping.

References to test buying/prepping appear to mostly point to well off advantaged families as opposed to less well off, less advantaged families. Also, discussion about the fact that some middle schools have more and others fewer kids who qualify for free and reduced price lunches.

Ive already said it's inappropriate. I also explained how your selective outrage doesn't land so well. I'll be curious to see you call out future racist posts about "test-buying" Asians, but you won't.

I’ve reported anti-Asian comments before. Feel free to confirm with Jeff. I usually just report as “gross”. If any of the “test buying” comments are directed at Asian families I’ll call them out.

And you’ll call out the racist basketball/sneaker comments?

I don't call out anything other than your performative hypocrisy and outrage over some rando's comments about basketball.

Different poster here. You do understand that the basketball comments are made frequently on these threads, for example: comparing the NBA to TJ. It’s obvious what the writers of these posts are trying to do and anyone who act as though they don’t get it is either very, very inexperienced in life or not 100% telling the truth.

I don’t think these are random comments at all. I think that they are talking points that a number of different posters have been using for years.

Basketball achievements are pride of NoVa students. It must be talked about and celebrated just like academic TJ student accomplishments. Both require hardwork from student and family resources.

I think we all agree the comments are inappropriate.

Then we move on to just pointing out that no one goes from thread to thread calling out the MANY comments about "test-buying Asians." It's very obvious what these posters are trying to do and insinuate. Definitely almost like talking points.

Don't be an a-hole. We all know that people making these comments on TJ admissions threads are not celebrating sports achievements or fashion. They are racist digs on URMs who are applying to TJ.

They are saying that wealthy people have access to resources that gives them an edge up in TJ admissions.

STOP reporting comments in order for it to appear that everyone is on your side.

This is a conversation, not a liberal blog.
