[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd watch out with Hardy, OP. My own Asian kids have been subjected to occasional crappy treatment at a mostly white DCPS elementary WotP.  Half a dozen AA kids have pulled on the corner of their eyes to make fun of my children's "slanty" eyes repeatedly, and unkindly mimicked them speaking the Asian language we speak at home.  The school handled the situation well and the bullying has mostly stopped.  But we're not going to touch any DC public school that's mostly AA for MS or HS.  The reality is that there's a good deal of jealously of high-achieving Asian immigrant students in low SES AA circles in this city. You can flame away at OP and this PP without changing that.

DC's late Mayor for Life was very publicly racist concerning Asians.  He didn't exactly set an example of moral leadership on this, or on much else.[/quote]

Really? You're bringing Marion Barry into the conversation? He died 3 years ago and last served as mayor in 1999, well before any student currently in Hardy MS was even born. What exactly is your point in mentioning him? [/quote]
