This is a two way street if ever there was one. And with what's going on lately, you finally have both East and South Asians on various social media platforms acknowledging their privileged status and their baked-in familial animus towards Latinx and ESPECIALLY Black Americans.

Complete BS - dont impute naked racism to Asians toward black adults or students just because they get into TJ and apply to TJ at higher rates. The affirmative action and how it should be implemented or if there should or shouldn't be explicit racial quotas or racial composition goals is a separate policy and legal debate. BUT is is extremely cowardly and intellectualy lazy to piggy back this debate on top of the police brutality and racism towards colored people issues that are part of the george Floyd protests.

How self-serving can you be?

Recognizing that the privileged at TJ would like to say the Floyd protests are just about police brutality, they have led to a larger discussion about discrimination and racism in our society. In that context, it's pathetic for FCPS to announce this week that there is no place for racism in FCPS while it operates a selective magnet school that extends admission offers to so few black kids they aren't even willing to disclose the exact number.

The advantages that both Asians and whites enjoy relative to URMs in our schools absolutely needs to be on the table NOW.

Yes, Asians and whites have higher incomes. So what do you wish to do about it with regard to TJ? Should they pay more to attend because of this advantage?

I’m still not sure what asian privilege is? All I see is they are systematically disadvantaged and discriminated in a lot of things including college application and leadership positions.
Is earning a higher income through legal means and hard work a crime in this country?

Just because it didn’t go your way, doesn’t mean it’s not right.
Why do I have to pay your bill because you want to do drugs and dont give your children a father? Now you’re crying for discrimination because it was YOU who disadvantaged your own kids?

[Anonymous]

Why do you even want your kids to get in TJ? How can they possibly benefit from this when they can't even survive a semester? Are you gonna further demand TJ to apply a different grading standard to your kids?
It seems that you only care about dumbing down: if I don't get it, nobody else should get it.
you can shut down TJ and tear down this whole country all you want. you're not gonna be better precisely because YOU have been your own problem, not others.
So go ahead to start a revolution or civil war and turn this country into more of a shithole.

There is something wrong when a district is 35% black/Latino and only 3 or at most 4% of students attending a specialized high school are Black/Latino.

It also should be an almost 40/60 split betweeen female and male students.

Forgot to add 17% white students admitted to TJ while whites make up 38% of all students in FCPS.

A specialized *public* high school.

Let’s not forget FCPS has a 28% FARMS rate. TJ’s FARMS rate is 2%.

TJ is a public school that does not represent its community.

Racist Asians are fine with a national debate about racism as long as it’s only white people portrayed as privileged oppressors. They don’t want any attention paid to their own racism, even when it also leads to discrimination against blacks and Hispanics.

On average, Asians are much more interested in math and science than other subjects.
On average, Asians are much more invested in education from a very early age.
On average, males are much more interested in STEM, especially math.

There is something wrong with the fact that very few non-Asian minorities are attending, but the root cause for dealing with that lies in public systems investing money in to help fuel their education from a very early age. But that's only part of it. The other part is up to families and their communities to change their culture to focus on education (this part is pretty hard if they don't have enough means and flexibility to spend enough time with their kids). But... if those two things were to happen, we would see a LOT more black/Latinos applying and being admitted to TJ.

Yeah, we've never heard that one before.

We should not operate a school that gets more resources and offers more resources to one group of students than the rest. If FCPS doesn't change its own culture, it will find itself squarely on the wrong side of history.

I’ve been asking this multiple times in multiple threads and nobody could give me a clear answer: what exactly is the racism that Asians have applied to harm others?

Asserting your culture is better + denigrating the culture of others + opportunity hoarding + opposing affirmative action unless it benefits you = racism.

But your claim that Asians are doing this is racist. Sure there's always some people of every race who do this, but it's not right, or fair, to generalize like this.

Then charge the TJ attendees for the cost of the extra resources used so that it's deemed fair. TJ families are economically well off and wouldn't mind paying a fair cost, to alleviate the burden on the county. But they would absolutely object to shutting down a school focused on academic excellence in the name of equity.
