[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The school district is Montgomery County Public Schools. That the admissions committee had the information about home middle school is well known. And the majority of Asian-Americans in the downcounty don't live in Bethesda or Potomac.[/quote]

No [b]the majority of high performing, high scoring Asian Americans[/b] are clustered in the Churchill, Whitman and Wootton districts. Nasty people refer to Wootton as Wonton. Many of the ES schools -you know they ones scoring in the 90s on PARCC while other schools barely hit a 50% passing rate are majority Asian and minority white. Its an academic powerhouse area that attracts successful Asian Americans with high level degrees from top universities.

It pissed MCPS and DCC folks off that successful Asians were taking up spots in an eastern magnet. Rather than increase the spots to serve more students and bring in more AA and Latino students or reduce the number of spots for whites who have benefitted from systemic racism against AAs, MCPS decided to protect the white kids and screw the asian kids. Its pretty disgusting. [/quote]

To repeat: the majority of Asian-Americans in the downcounty don't live in Bethesda or Potomac. If you want to allege discrimination against Asian-Americans by MCPS, then you need to include ALL Asian-Americans, including the majority who don't live in Bethesda or Potomac. It's laughable to say that the Asian-Americans who don't live in Bethesda or Potomac somehow don't count as Asian-Americans. Or, you know, that the Asian-Americans who don't live in Bethesda or Potomac do count as Asian-Americans, but not as high-performing, high-scoring Asian-Americans.[/quote]
