student admissions and TJ lawsuit

[Anonymous]

I think the previous quote is inappropriate given the context PP is trying to harp on here.

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.

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.
Just this AAP section alone has 73222 results

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.

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.

That’s fine if you as one person doesn’t see it that way, but many others do. The people making the comparison are doing it in a way to point out identity groups and say that members of one identity group don’t deserve to go to TJ because they don’t care about “Books,” they only care about basketball and can’t even figure out how to find books.

They are showing how they feel about people they assume don’t care enough about books. It is meant to be condescending and even rather contemptuous. That’s fine if you choose not to see it that way, but, again, many others do and their take on it matters as much as yours does.

You dont seem to know much about basketball or the NoVa travel leagues. They are a significant representation of Asian student players. We are hispanic/asian mixed race family, and both our kids are year round players. When I read references about basketball, I relate to them. Our travel league has an even mix of ethnicities.

You are either being obtuse or hoping to convince people that the basketball talking points don’t mean what they are meant to mean. People are not stupid and we see exactly what those using these talking points are trying to do. You can’t backpedal and hope people won’t see the actual intent.

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

Do you think comments like this are acceptable:

No one knows what the heck that poster meant, but you seem to be posting that message repeatedly and going crazy with it.

What do you mean no one knows? It is pretty freaking obvious to anyone who reads it. They implied that URMs (minus Asians) don't look at "books" just "sports" and "basketball shoes".

I keep posting it because it's so blatant and puts all of the offhand comments about basketball/shoe comments into context.

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.

Yes, that is what I have also seen. The emphasis is on families with financial advantages. I’ve seen a number of references to children not being able to choose the family they’re born into, as in not every child is born into a family that can afford or knows about test prep.

Majority of the TJ basketball teams are Asian. Students are capable of managing both Books and Basketball simultaneously. Either of them are not exclusive to any ethnicity.

Back in January, they were at Edison. TJ team was unexpectedly good and beat our team. Entire team was dressed in formals with ties, both before and after the game. You don't see that kind of old school game day swag often these days.

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."

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.

Do you believe that it's offensive?

“ 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. ”

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

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 thought that comment was sarcasm directed at the 6th grade algebra for all poster.
