When you look at demos overall most of the black population is low SES in low classes with the immigrant families being outliers much like the Asian immigrant families. And yes I am well aware that there are some Asians who identify with ghetto culture but again they are the minority in MoCo overall.

Alternatively, you could just stop posting generalizations based on stereotypes. Please.

eh I prefer to stick to factual evidence but thanks for playing

Let's just clarify. So is it your family's policy to avoid schools with African American children because of your perception that most African Americans don't value education?

Yes, please do. If everybody did that, it would eliminate posts like the top one in this series.

Let me assure you that the racists who freak out about the number of Black kids at our local school are not taking the time to figure out which are "African" and which are "African American."

ah typical liberal restoring to calling of racism

Fact most people care about test scores. Fact the higher the SES level the higher the test scores. Fact in this area SES is highly correlated with race. But keep ignoring reality lolz

I bet you wouldn’t dare say any of this in front of a black person.

I'm an AA married to an African, and have both AAs and black immigrants (African, West Indian, etc.) in our well-educated social circles. Sweeping generalizations like the above are utter BS.

Instead of commenting on other ethnic/racial groups you clearly know little about, maybe you should ponder your own poor education, which has lead to the uncritical thinking and run-on sentences on display here.

Well looks like there are a bunch of black people on here today

Look I don't understand what is so hard here. Black people have lower SES, lower test scores, and care about education less than the average population. Now granted that this is DCUM I expect most of you care more. Most upper middle class and above black people don't send their kids to majority black schools. They go private or go to schools that are higher performing. Those are the facts and yes I would say that to your face.

Yes, of course there are. Yesterday, also. And tomorrow.

Have whatever opinions you want. Just don't call them facts. And I, also, will have whatever opinions I want, including opinions about your opinions.

Wow, these are some very dangerous and unfounded generalizations. For folks that believe in these tired stereotypes, might I suggest you expand your network a little more. There are some "lazy asians that are bad at math" and "poor white people with low test scores that happen to be good dancers" eagerly waiting to meet you.

In all seriousness, every group, every community includes a diverse collection of people that will defy whatever closed-minded narrative you are trying to push. And the key word here is "people", which at the end of the day that's all it really comes down to. No one group has a monopoly on the character traits of hard work or laziness.

+1. I was just about to add that, amongst my Jewish relatives, there are 'geniuses pianists', 'run-of-the-mill jocks' and - gasp - 'lazy deadbeats who barely make it in middle school'. Yes, there are Jewish kids who don't give a crap about education.

This is a common issue on DCUM so let me speak slowly. Generalizations exist because they are true a majority of the time. Great that your personal situation is different but you have to realize you are an outlier. Facts and statistics are not on your side.

The original topic was even in diverse schools students generally sit with students that look like them. My point was that this is because high schools have tracking and in general aka a majority of the time in MOCO schools asians and whites are in higher level classes and blacks and hispancis are in lower level classes. Have a good evening.

Nah. Generalizations exist because people are lazy thinkers.

I challenge you to say this to every black person you come in contact with since you claim to have the balls to do it!
